People don’t talk in finished sentences. Some dictation should stay exactly as spoken, and some should read as if you had typed it with care. MetaWhisp gives you both: Raw keeps what you said, Structured drops the ums and false starts, fixes the grammar and lays it out in paragraphs and lists.
Pick a mode under Text Processing. It applies from your next dictation.
You said: “um the review moves to uh thursday you know after lunch”
Raw is what Whisper heard, fillers and all. Structured is the same thought, ready to send.
| Raw | What Whisper heard, with punctuation. Learned names and fixes still apply. Free |
|---|---|
| Clean | Removes common Russian filler words, on your Mac, and nothing else. Free, offline |
| Structured | Removes fillers and false starts in any language, fixes grammar, adds paragraphs, lists and numbered steps. With AI |
MetaWhisp has three processing modes for voice to text on a Mac. Raw, the default, pastes what OpenAI’s Whisper model heard, with the punctuation Whisper adds, plus the brand names and corrections MetaWhisp has learned from you. Clean removes a fixed list of common Russian filler words on your Mac, offline, without touching grammar. Structured sends the transcript to an AI model that removes filler words and false starts in any language, fixes grammar and punctuation, and lays the text out in paragraphs, bullet lists or numbered steps, while keeping your meaning and your language; it never adds content or answers a question you dictated. Structured runs on the free local model, which also works offline, on your OpenAI or Cerebras account key, or on Pro. You choose the mode under Text Processing in Settings.
It edits the way you would, not the way a chatbot would.
Ums, uhs, repeated words and sentences you started twice. What is left is the version you meant to say.
Paragraphs where the thought turns, a bullet list when you name several things, numbered steps for instructions.
Same language, same content, nothing added. Dictate “ask Sam about the budget” and that is what you get, not an answer from the AI.
Structured can run on the free local model. Speaking another language and want English out? That is translation.
Raw, the default, keeps what Whisper heard. Clean removes common Russian filler words, on your Mac and offline, and changes nothing else. Structured uses AI to remove fillers and false starts in any language, fix grammar and punctuation, and lay the text out in paragraphs, lists or numbered steps.
No. It keeps your meaning and your language, adds nothing, and never answers a question you dictated; it only tidies how the words read. Very short dictations are just cleaned up, not restructured.
An AI model: the free local model on your Mac, which also works offline, an OpenAI or Cerebras key of yours, or Pro. Without one, MetaWhisp pastes the raw text and tells you what to set up.
Nearly. Whisper adds punctuation and capitals as it transcribes, and MetaWhisp still applies the brand names and corrections it has learned from you. It does not remove or rewrite anything.
Under Text Processing in the Dictation section of Settings. The mode applies from your next dictation.
With Pro, yes: Text Style adds switches to start with a lowercase letter, leave out the final period, or turn off automatic capitals.
Free for Mac. Raw and Clean are free; Structured runs on the local model too.
