# WrapScribe for Windows — On-device dictation for your PC > Markdown twin of https://wrapscribe.com/windows — the canonical page. You talk. Your PC types. WrapScribe for Windows writes down what you say, cleaned up, in whatever app you're already in. Speech recognition runs on your PC — offline, with nothing uploaded. Download for Windows (https://pub-c32d9a0988724edea2fd65c2ef924228.r2.dev/windows/WrapScribe_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe). About 7 MB · Version 0.1.1 · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Windows on ARM installer (https://pub-c32d9a0988724edea2fd65c2ef924228.r2.dev/windows/WrapScribe_0.1.1_arm64-setup.exe). The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” when you run the installer. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Free to download. A licence key activates it — from $50, once, until 31 January (https://wrapscribe.com/windows#pricing). *Illustration: A light desktop window with a sentence typed into it, and WrapScribe's recording pill at the bottom centre of the screen.* ### Hold Ctrl+Win Speak, then let go. Double-tap to lock hands-free. Esc cancels. Any lone modifier or chord can be recorded instead. ### Say it Audio stays on this PC. There is no live preview while you talk. ### Let go The text is transcribed on your PC after you let go, and lands at your cursor. ## What it does on Windows. ### Dictation in any app Hold the shortcut and speak. After you let go, the words land at your cursor — Notepad, Chrome, Slack, Word, a code editor. If there is nowhere to type, the text is copied and the pill says so. ### Cleanup with no cloud Basic drops fillers, fixes punctuation and capitals, writes decimals and numbered steps as digits, turns spoken lists into lists, applies corrections and snippets, and follows “scratch that” and a closing “press enter”. Exact is your words exactly as recognised, trimmed. Emoji: Never, When spoken, or Expressive. Basic is the same rule set as the Mac's Basic mode. ### Your words Dictionary, Corrections (heard → written) and Snippets. They apply to the next dictation. ### Three speech models Downloaded in the app with progress, resume and a checksum. Recognition runs on the CPU after you let go. Parakeet Unified English, 731 MB — the default, recommended for English. Parakeet v3 (25 European languages), 740 MB. Whisper large-v3-turbo (99 languages), 886 MB. ### Hold or hands-free Default: hold Ctrl+Win, speak, let go. Double-tap to lock hands-free. Toggle mode: press, speak, press. Esc cancels. Any lone modifier or chord can be recorded instead. ### Small things Your clipboard survives a dictation. The pill sits at the bottom centre of the monitor showing the active window, never takes focus, and lets clicks through. Left-click the tray to open the window; the menu has Open WrapScribe, Start dictation, Copy last dictation and Quit WrapScribe, with a red dot while recording. Closing the window leaves it running. Sounds: Click, Soft tone, Wood, Warm synth, Thock, or None, with volume. Launch at login is on by default. Home shows the Last dictation with Copy. One instance per user, and a first-run setup. New versions install from inside the app when you press Update now. ## What it doesn't do yet. These are on the Mac today. No dates here on purpose: if one of them is the reason you're buying, wait for it, or use it on a Mac. ### Cleanup and commands - Smart Cleanup - “Hey WrapScribe” voice commands ### Meetings and writing - Meeting recording and notes - The selection assistant - Transforms - Per-app writing styles ### Overlay and history - The overlay choices (menu-bar band, menu-bar only) - History, stats and recovery — Windows keeps the last dictation only ### Speech and signing - Apple's built-in speech model, and a live preview while you talk - Code signing ### Between computers - Syncing settings and word lists between computers Mac differences in the Windows guide (https://wrapscribe.com/docs/windows#mac-differences). ## Your words stay on this PC. Audio and words never leave it. The only network traffic is the licence check — the key, an anonymous id for this PC and its name — plus model downloads from Hugging Face and an update check that fetches a small public file, sending nothing about you beyond what any web request carries. Logs record states and timings, never what was said. The session token lives in Windows Credential Manager. ## What you need. Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and a microphone. Intel and AMD PCs need a processor with AVX2: most chips since 2013, though some budget Celeron, Pentium and Atom ones lack it. On those, WrapScribe says so when it starts instead of crashing. Windows on ARM has its own installer. About 1 GB of disk, and the network once. A speech model is about that size. You need the internet to activate and to download a model. After that, dictation runs on this PC. A 7 MB installer, no administrator. Per-user, into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\WrapScribe`, with a Start menu entry. WebView2 is part of Windows 10/11; the installer fetches it only if a PC lacks it. Uninstall from Settings → Apps. Models, logs and settings stay unless “Delete the application data” is ticked. ## One key, Mac or PC. Christmas offer: 50% off every plan until 31 January. Basic ~~$100~~ $50 / 1 Mac or PC.

Buy a licence (https://wrapscribe.com/#pricing). ## Questions. **Why does Windows warn me about the installer?** The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” when you run the installer. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A browser may also warn that the file isn't commonly downloaded. **Does my Mac key work on a PC?** Yes. The same key (WS-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) activates a PC, and the PC takes a seat exactly as a Mac does. On a Basic key already active on a Mac, the app answers “already active on another computer”. Sign out on the other computer to free the seat. **Does it sync with my Mac?** Not yet. Settings, Dictionary, Corrections and Snippets stay on this PC. **Does it work offline?** A PC checks in at launch and every six hours and keeps working for 30 days without a connection, then asks for one. A revoked or refunded licence stops at the next successful check. A Mac stays activated offline indefinitely. **Will my PC run it?** Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and a microphone. Intel and AMD PCs need a processor with AVX2: most chips since 2013, though some budget Celeron, Pentium and Atom ones lack it. On those, WrapScribe says so when it starts, before you buy a key, instead of crashing. Windows on ARM has its own installer. **How do I update it?** It updates itself. WrapScribe checks shortly after it starts and every six hours; when a new version is out, press Update now and it installs and opens again, with your settings, speech models and licence as they were. Version 0.1.0 has no updater, so on 0.1.0 run the new installer over the old one, once. **What if it doesn't work for me?** Seven days, no questions. Email support@wrapscribe.com with your payment id. The refund policy (https://wrapscribe.com/refunds) has the rest. ## Talk to your PC. Keep it to yourself.
