# Why I Built Brethof Voice Pro
I got tired of two things:
1. Voice-to-text tools that only work well in English
2. Every good STT solution either costs $700 (Dragon) or sends your voice to the cloud monthly
So I built something different.
## What It Does
Brethof Voice Pro is a desktop app (Windows + Linux) that converts speech to text using AI — entirely on your device. Press Ctrl+D, speak, text appears where your cursor is.
**Zero cloud calls during transcription.** Models download once on first launch, then it works fully offline.
## The Tech Stack
- **Qwen3-ASR engine** — 1.84% word error rate across 10 languages (arXiv 2601.21337)
- **GGUF models via llama.cpp** — 6 quantization tiers from 1 GB to 3.2 GB
- **Vulkan GPU acceleration** — works on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and CPU-only
- **DeepFilter** noise reduction
- **36 languages** with auto-detection
## Why It Matters
If you speak Thai, Polish, Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, or dozens of other languages — there has been **no good voice-to-text option** for you. Dragon doesn't support most languages. Google's API charges per-minute and requires internet. Whisper's accuracy on non-English languages is mediocre.
Qwen3-ASR changes this. State-of-the-art accuracy across 36 languages, running locally on consumer hardware.
## Pricing
$49 one-time. Perpetual license. No subscription.
Compare: Dragon $699. Otter.ai $100-240/year. Google STT per-minute cloud pricing.
