Study Smarter, Not Harder
Between lectures, essays, research papers, and study sessions, students produce an enormous amount of text. Chirp helps you get it all done faster by turning your voice into text at 150 words per minute — nearly four times the speed of typing. Press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear wherever your cursor is.
Capture Lecture Notes
Use Chirp to quickly dictate key points during or after a lecture. Instead of frantically typing while trying to listen, speak your notes naturally and let Chirp handle the transcription. The live streaming transcription feature shows your words appearing in real-time, so you can verify accuracy on the fly.
Brainstorm Essays and Papers
The hardest part of writing is starting. Chirp makes it easy to get past the blank page by letting you talk through your ideas first. Dictate your thesis, outline your arguments, and dump your research notes — all by speaking. You can refine and edit afterward, but the heavy lifting of getting ideas out of your head is done in minutes, not hours.
Create Study Summaries
After reading a chapter or reviewing your notes, speak a summary of the key concepts into Chirp. This serves double duty: the act of explaining material out loud reinforces your understanding, and you end up with a written summary you can review later. It's active recall and note-taking combined.
Search Past Transcriptions During Revision
Every transcription Chirp creates is saved locally and fully searchable. During exam revision, search your transcription history for specific topics, keywords, or concepts. It becomes a personal archive of everything you've dictated throughout the semester.
No Campus WiFi Needed
Chirp works 100% offline. All voice processing happens locally on your device using a small (~30MB) AI model. This means it works in lecture halls with terrible WiFi, in the library basement, on the bus, or anywhere else you study. No internet connection is ever required.
Works with Any App
Chirp's auto-paste feature inserts transcribed text directly into whatever application you're using — Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion, Obsidian, your email client, or any other tool. There's no need to copy and paste from a separate window.
Student-Friendly Pricing
Chirp starts with 28 free transcriptions, and no account is required to get started. When you need unlimited transcriptions, it's just $9.99 per year — less than a single textbook chapter at most universities. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
