FAQ

Common questions

Does it work completely offline?

Yes. After the initial model download (~4GB), Whryte works 100% offline. Your audio never leaves your Mac.

What about Intel Macs?

Whryte requires Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4). The AI models are optimized for Metal and the Neural Engine.

How accurate is the transcription?

Very accurate. Whryte uses Parakeet, a state-of-the-art model that rivals cloud services while running locally.

Can I use it in any app?

Yes. Whryte works system-wide. Press the hotkey and text appears wherever your cursor is—any text field, any app.

What happens after the trial?

The app stops transcribing until you purchase. Your transcription history and settings remain intact.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only once—to download the AI models on first launch. After that, you can disconnect completely.

What languages are supported?

25+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and more.

Is there a subscription?

No. One payment, lifetime access. All future updates included. No recurring fees, ever.

Will Whryte slow down my Mac?

Not at all. Memory usage stays under 150MB for transcription, and it only activates your CPU/GPU during active use. Enhanced mode uses 2GB extra RAM but releases it after 5 minutes idle.

Is my voice data private?

Absolutely. Everything stays on your Mac. Neither your audio recordings nor transcribed text ever get transmitted to any server—complete local processing means total privacy.
