Products & Services
A private, local dictation toolkit for Windows 10/11 and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. It converts speech to text on the user's computer and types it into the active application; optional local or user-configured cloud AI cleanup can refine the text.
Market Position
Lanreal positions Whisperstream as a free, open-source, on-device alternative to cloud-first or subscription dictation products. Its differentiators are local transcription with no cloud audio path, broad application compatibility, 39 languages, optional local cleanup, encrypted local history, and no recurring price; the company's own comparison material places it against Wispr Flow, Aqua Voice, OpenWhispr, Willow Voice, Windows Voice Typing, Dragon, MacWhisper, and Superwhisper.
Founding Story
Lanreal says it builds tools it uses to run its own company, refines them until they are simple to install and dependable every day, and then offers them to everyone. The initial vision was to do the hard work of AI behind straightforward software, with privacy built in wherever local processing is practical.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Whisperstream is currently distributed as free, open-source software with no subscription, account, license key, or activation requirement. Optional cloud cleanup uses a provider configured by the user rather than a Lanreal transcription service; the company also presents corporate licensing information for teams.
Pricing Tiers
All features included; no subscription or account required. Windows and Apple Silicon Mac beta downloads are available, and the software is GPL-3.0-only open source.
