Network and storage
Quiet Typist transcribes audio and video entirely on your device. On first launch, it needs an internet connection to download the default speech recognition model and the shared support models. Once they're downloaded and verified, everyday use never requires uploading your audio or video files.
Beyond the installer itself, leave disk space for local speech models and transcripts. Actual usage depends on how many models you download and how many files you process.
MCP Setup
Send a prompt to your agent to connect Quiet Typist MCP automatically, or add the local transcription server manually in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code.
Installation
Download and install Quiet Typist for Windows or Mac, then let it set up the local speech models it needs on first launch.
