Does Dictation work offline on Windows?

Written by Sofia

Yes! Speechify offers on-device dictation that works without an internet connection.

  1. Open the Speechify app.

  2. Click Dictation in the left sidebar.

  3. Click the Dictation Engine dropdown and select On-Device.

Once an on-device model is downloaded, dictation will work fully offline.

Managing your on-device models

To view and manage your on-device dictation models, navigate to Device Dictation Models in the Dictation tab.

From here you can:

  • Download an available model by clicking the download icon next to it.

  • Delete an installed model by clicking the trash icon next to it.

  • See which model is currently in use — it will have an Active tag.

  • Switch to any installed model by clicking the checkmark icon.

For help choosing the right model for your device, see [this article](link to article “Which offline Dictation model should I use for my device?”).
