Why Finch?
Built different. Priced fair.
Local for $49 Once
A perpetual license unlocks local Whisper and offline use on up to 3 personal devices.
Offline Dictation
Privacy Mode keeps normal dictation local and blocks Finch's automatic network features. Explicit user-initiated license or model-download actions can still connect.
Lightweight Desktop App
Resource use varies by transcription mode, model, and workload.
Your Keys, Your Data
Bring your own API keys. No middleman, no markup.
Why I built this
I was paying $12/month for voice-to-text software. It worked fine. But every month, another charge for something that should just... work.
So I built Finch. It does one thing well: turns your voice into clean text. BYOK cloud mode works without a paid Finch license; a $49 perpetual license unlocks local, offline transcription.
