When typing gets harder, you can just talk instead
If your hands are stiffer than they used to be, or the keys feel small and the
letters move around on you, writing an email shouldn't be a chore. Whisperizer lets
you hold one key, say what you mean, and let go. Your words appear as clean,
tidy text in whatever you are writing: an email to the grandkids, a note to the
doctor, a comment on Facebook.
A short note from the maker: I'm Richard, I'm 77, and I'm a
retired developer. I built Whisperizer because I wanted dictation that was simple,
that didn't cost a fortune every month, and that kept my voice on my own computer.
This is the tool I wanted for myself.
Why it's easy to use
- One key, then talk. Hold Ctrl and the Windows key together, speak normally,
and release. That's the whole thing to remember.
- It cleans up after you. The "um"s and "uh"s are removed, sentences get
capital letters, and commas and periods land in the right places. You don't have to
say "period" or "comma" unless you want to.
- Simple spoken commands. Say "new line", "new paragraph", or "scratch that"
and it does just that.
- Works everywhere. Email, Word, your web browser, Facebook, anywhere you can
normally type.
Getting started in three steps
- Download the free trial and open the installer. It walks you through it.
- When you want to write, click where you'd normally type.
- Hold Ctrl + Windows key, say your sentence, and let go. Your words appear.
Things that matter as we get older
- No monthly bill. It is $39 one time. Not $39 a month, $39 once, and it's
yours. Many of the other dictation tools charge every single month, forever.
- No account, no card to try it. The 7-day trial has every feature turned on.
You don't hand over a credit card or sign up for anything just to see if you like
it.
- Your voice never leaves your computer. Everything happens right on your PC.
Nothing is sent to a company's servers, so there is nothing to worry about and no
internet required once it's installed.
- Bigger, clearer reading. No squinting at tiny menus to get going. Hold the
key and talk.
How it compares

Give it a try for a week, free, and see if talking is easier than typing. If your
hands have been telling you it's time, this is a gentle way to listen to them.
Download the free 7-day trial
Windows 10/11, 64-bit. It's about a 3 GB download because the
whole thing lives on your PC, which is what keeps it private. No card, no account.
