Actually free, actually private

Free voice to text.
No cloud. No catch.

Google Voice Typing needs internet and Chrome. Apple Dictation is unreliable. Otter's free tier is 300 minutes and shrinking. Mumbl gives you 10 free transcriptions per week, processes everything locally, and doesn't require an account. Your data isn't the product.

"I just need something that like actually works, you know, like I've tried a bunch of apps and they either cost money every month or they mess up half of what I say, I just want to talk and have it come out right"

Mumbl output — Essay

The bar for transcription software should not be this low, and yet here we are. Most apps either charge a recurring fee for basic functionality or deliver accuracy so poor that editing takes longer than typing would have. Users deserve a tool that simply works — one that captures what you say, formats it clearly, and gets out of the way.

Why most "free" voice-to-text isn't really free

"Free" usually means your data IS the product. Otter.ai uses your recordings to train their AI. Google processes your voice on their servers. Mumbl is free because local processing doesn't cost us server fees.

Otter's free tier dropped from 6,000 to 1,200 to 300 minutes. The free tier keeps shrinking. Mumbl's free tier stays because there's no server cost to subsidize.

Google Voice Typing requires an internet connection, only works in Chrome, and doesn't clean up your speech. Three strikes.

Mumbl: 10 transcriptions per week, no credit card, no account required, works offline, filler words removed. That's the whole free tier. No gotchas.

Frequently asked questions

What's the catch?

No catch. 10 transcriptions per week, free, forever. We can offer this because Mumbl runs on your device. There are no server costs for us to pay. If you want unlimited transcriptions, paid plans start at $12/month.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Download, install, and start using it immediately. No email, no password, no verification. The free tier works with zero personal information.

How does this compare to Google Voice Typing?

Google Voice Typing: needs internet, Chrome only, no cleanup, sends audio to Google. Mumbl: works offline, works in any app, removes filler words, processes on your device. Both are free, but only one respects your privacy.
