Model language reference

Language support describes speech recognition, not app interface translation. Accents, background noise, and specialist terms can affect results. Review your transcript before sending.

Ask the builder community

What is BridgeVoice?

BridgeVoice is a desktop dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Hold your configured shortcut, speak, then release to transcribe and place text in the field you are using. It works for coding prompts, messages, notes, and everyday writing.

Can I use BridgeVoice offline?

Local speech recognition runs on your computer after you download a model. Account access, model downloads, cloud transcription, and connected features can still require the internet. Local dictation does not mean every part of the app works offline.

Which local model should I choose?

Start with Parakeet V3 if your language is among its 25 supported languages and your computer supports it. On Intel Mac, start with Whisper Turbo Q5. Whisper Turbo Q5 and Large v3 offer broader multilingual coverage; Distil-Whisper v3.5 is English only. Speed and accuracy depend on your computer, microphone, language, and recording.

Which model does cloud transcription use?

BridgeVoice cloud transcription uses Microsoft MAI-Transcribe-2 through OpenRouter, via the BridgeMind API. It supports 60 languages and automatic language detection. Cloud mode needs an internet connection and sends your audio for hosted processing.

How many languages does BridgeVoice support?

Language coverage depends on the selected model. MAI-Transcribe-2 supports 60 languages, Parakeet V3 supports 25, and Distil-Whisper v3.5 supports English. Whisper Large v3 and Turbo have a 100-language recognition vocabulary, with accuracy varying by language. Use the language explorer on this page for the complete lists.

What if my language is missing from the cloud dropdown?

Choose Auto-detect. The current desktop picker exposes a subset of MAI-Transcribe-2’s supported languages; the model can automatically detect languages outside that manual list. Chinese (Traditional) is a separate output conversion from the Chinese transcript, rather than an additional model language.

Does my audio leave my computer?

With local transcription, speech recognition processes audio on your device. With cloud transcription, audio goes through the BridgeMind API to the hosted transcription provider. Optional Polish and Enhance Prompt send transcript text to hosted AI, even when the original transcription was local.

Is BridgeVoice included with BridgeMind Pro?

Yes. BridgeVoice is included with BridgeMind Pro. Cloud transcription is subject to usage limits. Optional Polish and Enhance Prompt use BridgeMind credits. See the pricing page for the current subscription and included credits.

Is the demo using my microphone?

No. This website demo uses prepared sample text and simulated recording states. It does not access your microphone, download a speech model, or call a transcription service. Download BridgeVoice to try dictation with your own voice.
