Why phraser

Completely Private

Everything runs on your machine. Your voice never leaves your computer — no cloud, no accounts, no tracking.

Free & Open Source

MIT licensed. Fork it, extend it, make it yours. Accessibility tools shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Multiple Models

Choose from Whisper (Small to Large) with GPU acceleration, or Parakeet V3 for fast CPU-only transcription.

Smart Switching

Automatically uses a faster model for short recordings and a more accurate one for longer speech.
