Your voice never leaves this device.
Kiword pairs on-device speech recognition with a local LLM, so dictation and translation run on your own computer. This page explains what that means and where the limits are.
AI dictation & translation for school, work, and home. One app.
Private
Voice and data stay on your device for core dictation and translation.
On-device
Speech recognition runs locally on Windows 10 or later (x64 and ARM64).
Local LLM
Text structuring, polishing, and translation use a local LLM instead of a public cloud service.
How it works
- Install Kiword and sign in.
- Dictate or translate; processing runs on your device.
- Review the Privacy Policy for the few optional features that use the internet.
Frequently asked questions
- Does everything in Kiword run on my device?
- Voice recognition and the core writing features run locally with a local LLM. Some optional features, such as advanced vocabulary lookup and parent-dashboard progress reports, may use an internet connection. The Privacy Policy lists the details.
- Why does a local LLM matter?
- When voice data belongs to a family or a workplace, keeping processing on the device removes the need to send recordings to a third party.
- Is Kiword’s pricing tied to cloud usage?
- Solo is $9.9/year, Family is $25.9/year, and Max is $35.9/year. Every plan covers one household.
- What is the Founders offer?
- During the Founders launch, you buy 1 year and get 3 years on any plan. When that 3-year access ends, your plan renews at its standard annual price. The offer ends on December 25, 2026.
- Which platforms does Kiword support?
- Kiword runs on Windows 10 or later (x64 and ARM64). Check the download page for the latest availability.
