wispr-fox v2.2.0-nightly.1
Now it transcribes files too — not just your microphone.
Upload audio to transcribe
You've already recorded something — a voice memo on your phone, a meeting on
your laptop — and you just want the text. Drop it in.
- Drag any audio file onto the window and wispr-fox stages it and opens the
upload panel. Or hit the new Upload button on the History page and pick
one (or several) files from your computer. - Choose your engine right there. The upload panel lets you pick which
transcription provider and model to use for this batch — independent of your
usual dictation default — and tick Clean up and/or Draft to run the
same polishing you get on a live dictation. - It all lands in your history, in line with everything else, each file
marked with an Uploaded badge. Play the audio back, read the Raw /
Cleaned / Drafted tabs, copy the text, open the (i) panel — exactly like a
recording you made with the hotkey.
Supported formats: wav, mp3, m4a, aac, ogg, opus, flac, webm — so notes
from a Samsung/iPhone recorder, Windows Voice Recorder, or almost anything else
just work. Long files are fine; for very large files, Deepgram handles them
most smoothly.
Your files never leave your machine except to go straight to the transcription
provider you chose with your own key — same bring-your-own-key model as the
rest of the app.
Nightly build. Built on the v2.1.0 stable line.
Built from commit 9ddeb4c.
Provenance: built by GitHub Actions from the tagged commit. See the release notes header for which agent authored the change set.
Pick your installer:
- Windows:
wispr-fox_*_x64-setup.exe(recommended) or*_x64_en-US.msi - macOS Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4):
wispr-fox_*_aarch64.dmg - Linux:
*.AppImage(portable) or*.deb(Ubuntu/Debian)
First-time install — please read
Windows. Run the .exe, click through SmartScreen ("More info" → "Run anyway") on first launch since the binary isn't code-signed yet.
macOS. The build isn't notarized. One of two things will happen on first launch:
- "developer cannot be verified" dialog: Cancel → right-click the app in Applications → Open → click Open in the new dialog.
- "App is damaged" dialog: open Terminal and run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/wispr-fox.app, then double-click normally.
Then grant two permissions when prompted:
- Microphone (first time you press F8) — required
- Accessibility (first time it tries to paste) — required for fast text injection; if you skip it, the app falls back to clipboard+Cmd+V which still works but is slower
Full install walkthrough in the README.
Linux. AppImage is portable — chmod +x and run. Untested by maintainer; report issues.
