Dragon is stuck in 2020.
You don't have to be.
Dragon costs $700, needs weeks of voice training, dropped Mac support, and gets sluggish after an hour. Mumbl works accurately from day one with local AI — on Mac and Windows.

Finally, a Dragon alternative that just works.
Faster setup. No subscription. Runs completely offline.
"so I've been using Dragon for like years now and honestly it's gotten so bloated and expensive and it keeps needing to connect online and I just want something that works fast and stays on my computer without all the setup and subscriptions"
After years of relying on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the combination of subscription costs, software bloat, and required internet connectivity has made it an impractical choice. A lightweight, fully local alternative with fast performance and minimal setup is now the clear preference.
What people are saying
This is the simplest way to 10X your productivity.
I can finally talk to Claude Code with only two keys.
My favorite thing about Mumbl is its simplicity. There aren't any loops you have to go through to make it work and it's intertwined with my device really well. Right now I mainly use Mumbl for school work!
I was unsure on how I would feel talking to my computer, but I figured I'd give it a try. Turned out 10x better than I had expected. It's crazy how much time has already saved me!

I was a Dragon user for 12 years. Mumbl matched my trained Dragon accuracy on day one, without any voice training. Works on my Mac, costs a fraction of the price, and actually gets updates.
Dragon used to be the only serious option. Now it's a relic that crashes on Windows 11 and doesn't exist on Mac. Mumbl uses modern AI, works instantly, and runs locally. It's what Dragon should have become.
The voice training with Dragon took weeks and I had to redo it every time I got a cold. Mumbl just works. Same microphone, better accuracy, no training. I don't miss Dragon at all.

Why professionals are switching from Dragon
"The accuracy Dragon achieves after months of training is now available immediately from AI services."
Microsoft bought Nuance and stopped investing. Version 17 is barely different from version 16.
"For me Dragon was pretty much unusable without expensive microphone setup."
Mumbl uses Whisper AI that works with any microphone, requires zero training, and costs a fraction of Dragon.
