As of v1.6.0, SimplyTalk is completely free. No license keys, no trial, no activation. Every feature, for everyone, forever.
SimplyTalk has no ads, no telemetry, and no paywall. If it saves you time and you'd like to support continued development, you can buy the developer a coffee. Entirely optional - the app is fully free either way.
SimplyTalk runs state-of-the-art neural speech models directly on your machine. This is not lightweight browser-based transcription. It is a professional AI inference engine that benefits from modern hardware. We recommend Windows 11 systems built in the last 3-4 years with capable processors and discrete GPUs.
Yes. As of v1.6.0, every feature is free for everyone. There are no license keys, no trial period, no activation, no "Pro tier," and no usage caps. Download it, install it, and start dictating.
There is no catch. SimplyTalk collects zero data - your voice never leaves your machine, so there is nothing to monetize behind your back. It is a passion project by Brian Galvan of PsyberEdge Strategies. If you find it valuable, you can optionally support development.
Nothing changes - you keep everything, and updating to v1.6.0 simply removes the license system. Thank you for supporting SimplyTalk early; you helped make this possible. Questions? Reach us at support@simplytalk.app.
Yes. As of v1.6.0, SimplyTalk and its installer are digitally signed, so Windows shows a verified publisher instead of an "Unknown publisher" warning. The download comes directly from this website.
Because everything runs on your machine, the installer bundles the full AI speech models - including the NVIDIA Parakeet and Moonshine engines. One download, and SimplyTalk works completely offline with nothing else to fetch.
SimplyTalk runs on Windows 11. The base engine works smoothly on most professional-grade hardware from the last 4-5 years, and the real-time display model benefits from a discrete NVIDIA GPU. Since it is free, the best test is simply to install it and try. See the full system requirements.
