WhispaWave

Keyboard shortcuts

One gesture.
A thousand clicks saved.

WhispaWave runs entirely from your keyboard. Hold Fn and speak. The rest is a handful of combos you remap however you like.

Hold fn · speak · finished text appears

MacBook with WhispaWave: inside a note the dictated German sentence „Der Prototyp steht, Feedback bitte bis Donnerstag." types itself in. Along the bottom edge sits the WhispaWave pill with the hint „hold fn. Speak.", a DE language badge and a recording waveform.

Make it yours.

Every shortcut is remappable, every rule adjustable. WhispaWave bends to how you work, not the other way around.

A MacBook shows the WhispaWave app overview: word and speed stats plus the "Your shortcuts" panel with the shortcuts fn, fn Space, ^ ⌘ Space, ⌥ 1, ⌥ 2 and Esc. Every shortcut freely remappable.

Your shortcuts · Fully remappable

Remap any key

Fn awkward? Put any shortcut on your own key in two clicks.

Choose the cleanup level

You decide how much WhispaWave smooths: off, light, medium or strong.

Adapts to the app

Tone and rules per context: private, work, email. WhispaWave picks automatically.

Your dictionary

Your own terms, names, abbreviations: entered once, always written right.

Polish & Prompt Engineer

⌥1 polishes selected text, ⌥2 turns it into a structured AI prompt.

Share across the team

Maintain dictionary and snippets together, everyone writes consistently.

Your keyboard, your pace.

Hover a shortcut: the matching keys light up. Every shortcut is fully customizable.

These are the defaults. Every shortcut in WhispaWave is remappable (Settings → Keyboard shortcuts). Conversation mode runs without a hotkey by design.
