How can we help?

Download CoScript.exe from the dashboard. It's a 67MB portable executable — no installation wizard needed. Just double-click and start dictating.

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). 4GB RAM minimum, 8GB recommended. For GPU-accelerated local transcription, an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support is recommended but not required.

Press F9 (the global hotkey) anywhere on your desktop. Speak naturally, then release or press F9 again. Your transcribed text will be injected wherever your cursor is.

Yes. Core local transcription runs entirely on your device using the Whisper AI model. No internet required. Cloud features (translation, tone adjustment) require a connection.

Local transcription supports 30+ languages via the Whisper model. Cloud translation supports 100+ languages via Google Cloud APIs.

After transcription, CoScript can reformat your text into 30+ professional styles — Formal, Legal, Medical, Creative, and more. This is a cloud-powered feature available on Pro and Ultra plans.

Yes. CoScript uses WASAPI system audio loopback to capture any audio playing on your PC — Zoom, Teams, Meet, podcasts, YouTube, or any application.

F9 is the global keyboard shortcut that triggers dictation anywhere on your desktop. Press F9 → speak → your words appear at your cursor position in any application.

Speaker identification is available when using cloud transcription. Local-only transcription currently outputs as a single speaker stream.

Not by default. Local transcription runs 100% on your device. Cloud features (translation, tones) are opt-in and use Google's encrypted API. You always control what gets sent.

No. CoScript operates on a zero-cloud-retention architecture. Audio is processed in memory and discarded. We never store your voice recordings.

Yes. Local transcription is GDPR-compliant by architecture since no personal data leaves your device. Cloud features use encrypted, transient processing with no data retention.

No. CoScript runs locally on your machine. There is no admin dashboard, no central server, and no way for anyone else to access your transcriptions.

Ensure your microphone is set as the default recording device in Windows Sound Settings. CoScript uses the system default input device.

Local transcription speed depends on your hardware. For best performance, ensure you have an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support. You can also switch to cloud transcription for faster results.

Some applications may capture F9 before CoScript. Try running CoScript as Administrator, or check that no other application is using F9 as a shortcut.

Free tier users are limited to 3,500 words/week for local transcription and 1 hour/week of cloud AI. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited access.

Try deleting the config folder at %APPDATA%/CoScript and relaunching. If the issue persists, download the latest version from your dashboard.
