Hey team, I’ve been thinking about our next project. Let’s keep it simple, start with what matters, and build something we’re proud of.

More about speech & privacyFROM DOWNLOAD TO FIRST WORDS
Make yourself
heard.
Three small steps.
Then let your thoughts do the talking.
- 01
Download. Unzip. Make it yours.
Download the ZIP and choose Extract All. Open the extracted folder and launch Murmur.exe. Keep all the files together. This preview is for Windows 11 on a 64-bit PC.
- 02
Give your voice a way in.
Allow desktop microphone access in Windows Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone. Murmur uses your installed speech languages, with Windows voice typing as an alternative.
- 03
Press F5. Say what’s on your mind.
With an installed speech engine, press F5 to start and finish. Enable insertion in Murmur Settings to write into other apps. Windows voice typing uses its own toolbar to finish.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
find your flow.
Is Murmur really free?
Yes. This version of Murmur is free to use, with no account, API key, or subscription required. The app is released under the MIT license.
Will it work on my computer?
This is Murmur 1.3.0 preview for Windows 11 on x64 PCs. It needs .NET Framework 4.8 and Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, which are normally included with Windows 11. If WebView2 is missing, Murmur will direct you to Microsoft’s download page. This Windows port has compiled successfully; live microphone and insertion testing on a Windows PC is still pending. macOS, 32-bit Windows, and native ARM64 builds are not included.
Where does my voice and writing go?
Saved writing stays in Murmur’s local workspace on your PC. Murmur does not save audio. Installed Windows speech engines run locally. The optional Windows voice typing alternative processes speech through Microsoft online and needs an internet connection.
Could Windows show a security message?
Yes. This Windows preview is unsigned, so your browser or Windows SmartScreen may show a warning. Windows-only distribution does not guarantee warning-free downloads. Murmur does not disable Windows security settings. Only run a download you trust.
Can I dictate into other apps?
Yes. With an installed speech engine, turn on insertion in Murmur Settings, focus a text field, and use F5. Murmur checks the original destination and excludes password fields. If the destination changes, copy your words from the overlay. Without an installed engine, F5 opens Windows voice typing; it inserts using Windows’s own dictation toolbar.
