Features - MurmurTone | Privacy-First Voice-to-Text

Privacy & Security

Your Voice Stays Where It Belongs

Built from the ground up with privacy as the core principle, not an afterthought.

Your Voice Never Leaves Your Machine

Every sound you speak is processed by AI running directly on your computer. There's no server to send your data to - because it never goes anywhere. The recognition engine runs locally, the text stays local, and your privacy is guaranteed by architecture, not promises.

Invisible to the Cloud

No transcripts stored on remote servers. No audio files uploaded for "quality improvement." No usage data collected for advertising. MurmurTone doesn't even have a way to know what you said - there's no telemetry, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.

Anywhere You Go

Airplanes at 35,000 feet. Secure government facilities. Remote mountain cabins. Offshore drilling platforms. MurmurTone works exactly the same with zero internet connection - because it was designed that way from day one. No network means no vulnerabilities.

Speed & Productivity

Faster Than the Cloud

No server round-trips means instant results. Speak and watch words appear.

Results in Under a Second

No server latency. No upload time. No waiting for cloud processing. Speak, release your hotkey, and words appear instantly in any application.

AI Text Cleanup

Local AI polishes your transcription automatically. Fixes grammar, removes filler words like "um" and "uh", adjusts formality - all without sending a single character to the cloud.

100% local AI

Types Into Any App

Word, Slack, your browser, email clients, code editors, games - MurmurTone types directly into whatever window is active. No copy-paste, no app switching, just speak and it's there.
