Dictate into any app
Email, WhatsApp, Word, a browser tab: hold two keys, or tap the bubble on Android with your own keyboard still there, and talk. Long messages are fine.

Talk instead of type.
Everywhere you write.
Hold two keys and speak. Berry writes it out, with punctuation and without the “ums”, straight into the app you’re using. On your phone, its bubble floats above your own keyboard.

How it worksTalk. It listens.
Talk. It listens.
It’s done.
Three steps, all on your own processor. Nothing is uploaded, so it works the same in airplane mode.
01
01 · Talk
Press two keys, or just say “Hey Berry”
On a PC, tap Alt + Win to ask Berry something, or hold Ctrl + Win and talk to type. On Android, say “Hey Berry” or tap the floating bubble above any keyboard.
02 · Understand
Your words are understood on your device
A neural voice detector hears when you start and stop, then Whisper turns speech into text, right on your processor. Fillers like “um” vanish, punctuation appears, and your own names and words are spelled the way you like.
03 · Done
Berry gets it done
It opens apps, sets reminders and timers, finds files, calls and texts on your phone, answers questions with a local AI model, or types what you said into whatever app you’re in. Then it answers in a natural voice.
What it doesAn assistant and a keyboard,
An assistant and a keyboard,
in one small app.
Everything Berry does runs locally. Online chat is there if you want a bigger model, and off until you turn it on.
A real assistant
Open apps, set reminders, timers and alarms, find files, call and text, control music and the torch.
Hands-free “Hey Berry”
Say the wake word and ask. Listening for it happens on your device and pauses when your screen is off.
Chat that runs locally
Ask anything and a small AI model answers on your device. Want a bigger one? Switch on online chat.
Your words, spelled right
Teach Berry names and terms once (“Ammi”, “Kubernetes”, a colleague’s name) and it gets them right.
A voice you’ll like
Replies in a natural neural voice, with several to choose from, generated on your device too.
History that forgets
See what you dictated and the minutes you saved. After the days you choose, only word counts remain.
Light on battery
Berry sleeps until you need it and unloads its models when idle, so it stays cool and quiet.
Online only if you ask
Offline is the default. Add a free Groq key in Settings if you want a larger model for chat.
Why BerryThe others need the cloud.
The others need the cloud.
Berry doesn’t.
Wispr Flow is great at dictation, but it sends your voice to its servers and charges monthly. Siri and Google Assistant live on their own platforms. Berry does both jobs on the devices you already have, without uploading a word.

FAQQuestions,
Questions,
answered.
Does Berry really work without internet?
Yes. After the one-time model download, speech recognition, commands, chat and Berry’s voice all run on your device. Turn on airplane mode and try it. The only optional online parts are a once-a-day update check (which you can switch off) and online chat, if you add your own Groq key.
Why does Windows warn me when I open the installer?
Windows SmartScreen warns about any new app that hasn’t been downloaded many times yet. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. Berry installs just for your user account and doesn’t need administrator rights.
How do I install the Android app outside the Play Store?
Open the downloaded Berry.apk. Android asks once whether your browser may install apps; allow it, and the install continues. Berry asks for the microphone, and for accessibility only if you want the floating dictation bubble.
Will my PC or phone keep up?
Most PCs from the last five years are fine; 8 GB of RAM is comfortable. If chat feels slow, pick the lighter chat model in Settings, or use online chat. On phones Berry needs a 64-bit Android 8 device; it unloads models when idle so it doesn’t drain the battery.
What languages does it understand?
English works best, including Indian and Pakistani accents. Whisper also understands Urdu, Hindi and many more languages; choose yours in Settings.
How do updates work?
Berry checks this site once a day for a newer version and shows “Update available”. Download it from this page and install over the old one; your settings and history stay.
Will Berry cost money?
It’s free during early access. Later, new downloads will cost a small one-time price. There will never be a subscription, and the version you have keeps working.
