Calliope

Local, cross-platform, open-source speech-to-text dictation app. A privacy-first alternative to SuperWhisper and WisprFlow.

Calliope runs Whisper inference entirely on your machine — no cloud, no API keys required. Just press a hotkey and dictate.

Features

  • Fully local — all transcription happens on-device via whisper.cpp
  • Cross-platform — macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Push-to-talk & toggle mode — with automatic silence detection
  • Text injection — transcribed text is typed directly into the focused app
  • Optional post-processing — clean up transcriptions with a local or cloud LLM (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter)
  • GPU accelerated — Metal (macOS), CUDA (NVIDIA), ROCm/HIPBlas (AMD)
  • Lightweight — lives in your system tray

Tech Stack

  • Tauri v2 (Rust + WebView)
  • whisper-rs (Rust bindings to whisper.cpp)
  • React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS v4

Development

Prerequisites

Setup

bun install
bun run tauri dev

To build with Whisper inference enabled:

bun run tauri dev -- --features whisper     # CPU only
bun run tauri dev -- --features metal       # macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel)
bun run tauri dev -- --features cuda        # NVIDIA GPU
bun run tauri dev -- --features rocm        # AMD GPU (ROCm/HIPBlas)

Build

bun run tauri build --features metal        # macOS release
