About

OpenASR Desktop brings system-wide dictation and audio/meeting transcription to Windows, running entirely on-device on top of the Apache-2.0 OpenASR speech-recognition engine (ggml-backed, eleven model families, CPU and GPU inference). Nothing is uploaded: no cloud fallback, no telemetry, no account required. Models are downloaded once from a signed catalog and then run fully offline.
