Zero cloud. Zero telemetry. Instant keyboard injection into any Windows app with local Whisper speech recognition.
Built for developers, writers, and privacy purists.
Verbtm gives you the speed of modern deep learning without surrendering your conversations to third-party clouds.
Fast-Whisper neural models run entirely on your local GPU or CPU. No audio bytes or transcripts ever leave your device. Fully functional even when completely offline.
Uses native Win32 batch SendInput with UTF-16 surrogate safety. Injects text into whichever application has focus without altering your clipboard.
A sleek, floating OLED-style pill HUD that stays cleanly docked at the top of your screen. Displays real-time 16-band audio levels and processing status without stealing window focus.
Compiled directly against NVIDIA CUDA 12 and cuDNN 9 libraries. Transcribes 10 seconds of speech in under 350 milliseconds on modern RTX GPUs, with auto-fallback to AVX2 CPU.
Eliminates Whisper repetition loops with custom n-gram deduplication, hallucination silence thresholding, and built-in Voice Activity Detection (VAD).
Pick between Push-to-Talk or Toggle mode. Choose from 6 WinUI 3 color presets, select your audio microphone device, and calibrate transcription sensitivity in seconds.
Hold Alt + Win, say any app name, and release — Verbtm fuzzy-matches and launches it instantly. Works with all your installed apps, including Start Menu shortcuts and Store-installed apps like Netflix, Copilot, and Spotify. A confirmation chime plays on success; a distinct tone on no-match — all fully hands-free.
A seamless floating HUD. Uncompromising control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Verbtm is 100% free to download and use for all personal and professional workflows. Speech recognition runs offline on your local GPU or CPU with zero cloud subscriptions and zero data collection.
Only once during the very first run to fetch your chosen Whisper speech model (e.g., ~140 MB for base.en). Once cached, Verbtm operates 100% locally and completely offline—no audio streams, telemetry, or transcripts ever leave your PC.
Verbtm utilizes native Win32 SendInput keystroke synthesis. It types transcribed characters directly into whatever window currently has focus (VS Code, Word, Chrome, Slack, Discord) just as if you typed them on a mechanical keyboard.
Verbtm runs smoothly on standard Intel and AMD systems. During setup, it detects your hardware and automatically enables optimized multi-threaded CPU inference with INT8 quantization, giving you responsive (~250–400ms) dictation without requiring a dedicated graphics card.
Verbtm is distributed as a verified standalone application to prevent malicious third parties from creating compromised clones bundled with keyloggers.
Privacy is guaranteed and verifiable directly at the network layer:
base.en) directly to your local drive. After that, speech recognition operates 100% offline.
Verbtm.exe in Windows Defender Firewall or inspect it with Wireshark to confirm that zero audio or keystroke packets ever leave your PC.
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen flags newly released executables that haven't yet accumulated widespread global download telemetry. Verbtm is completely safe, private, and 100% offline.
