Why phisphis Beats the Cloud Subs

We built this because paying $12/month to a venture-backed cloud startup to type your own dictations on your own machine is a crime.

🛡️

Absolute Local Privacy

No network calls, no cloud telemetry, no sound recordings uploaded to remote servers. Everything runs entirely offline on your SSD.

🚀

Apple Silicon Accelerated

Transcribe and clean raw speech with native Metal GPU acceleration via Apple MLX, completing in under 300 milliseconds.

📝

Hinglish Optimized

Whisper + LLM mapping captures specific Indian names, stutters, Hinglish grammar structures, and jargon without generic rephrasing.

💾

Playable Audio Logs

Every single dictation's high-fidelity audio is saved locally. Play back, scrub, and copy transcripts inside your native dashboard.

🎹

Zero-Permission Hotkeys

Using native AppKit modifier monitoring, trigger dictation instantly by holding Control without triggering macOS accessibility loops.

🔮

Status Bar Companion

Runs entirely in the background as an agent. Hides from your Dock and shows clean SF Symbols menu bar states.

Experience the AI Magic Live

See how phisphis takes raw, stutter-filled Hinglish speech, cleans out filler words, and turns it into clean formatted prose instantly.

🏷️ Contextual Slang Dictionary

Teach the formatting AI your unique team slang, code symbols, variables, and project structures for custom auto-formatting.

💻 Multi-Platform Support

Deploying the exact same zero-cloud, hardware-accelerated workflow on Windows (DirectML) and Linux (CUDA/ROCm).
