Windows Pro is not available. A Mac Pro purchase does not unlock features in this Windows preview. No subscription or minute credits are needed for free dictation.

A licence key activates Pro in the Mac direct-download app. The Windows preview needs no key and cannot activate one. Mac App Store purchases use Apple’s purchase restoration separately.

From a thought to a text field.

  1. 1

    Open your app.

    Extract the complete archive into a folder you can write to. On Windows, open walkaitalkie-desktop.exe; on Linux, run start-walkaitalkie.sh. Keep the app, libraries, licences and included speech model together.

  2. 2

    Say what you mean.

    Start and stop with Ctrl + Alt + Space on Windows, or use the recording button. The app shows the recording limit and stops automatically when it is reached.

  3. 3

    Put it to work.

    Read the transcript, then copy it into your document, message or prompt. Names and numbers deserve a second look.

LOCAL BY DESIGN

Your voice stays with you.

Speech recognition runs on your computer. No account, API key or cloud service is needed for dictation. Downloads need internet; dictation works offline once the app and model are installed.

Does the preview include the Mac features?

It starts with free Raw dictation. Clean Up, translation, meeting notes, Pro purchases and the Mac update system are not included in the Windows or Linux preview.

How long can I record?

Each available download shows its recording limit above. The limit applies to one recording, not a daily allowance. Start another recording whenever you need; Raw dictation stays free.

What works on Linux?

Use the recording buttons and paste the clipboard result yourself. Global shortcuts currently work with X11 only; under Wayland, use the visible buttons. Microphone and desktop behaviour still need native Linux acceptance. A download appears only when a tested package is published.

How do I update the desktop preview?

The Windows and Linux previews have no automatic updater. Copy any transcript you want to keep, quit the app, then download the latest available package from this page and extract it into a new folder. Keep all files together. Your preferences stay in your system’s application-data folder.
