Why Penwright fits
Four things that matter for your role.
Subject confidentiality protected
Field-interview notes that identify research subjects never reach a third-party transcription service. Local-first is IRB-friendly by default.
Domain vocabulary, learned
Add your discipline's jargon, methods, software names, gene/protein nomenclature, statistical tests. Penwright gets them right.
Reasoning model on demand
Tackle a methods-section rewrite with Claude or OpenAI when you want frontier prose quality. BYO key, no markup, visible warning while active.

Unpublished IP stays yours
Pre-print drafts, novel findings, grant strategies. None of it gets indexed by an LLM provider because cleanup runs locally.
The small stuff that makes voice actually usable.
Dictionary, snippets, multilingual, all local.
Voice snippets
Trigger a saved block of text by saying a phrase. The expanded version comes out polished, and the variables stay yours to fill.
'sig' → 'Best, Daniel, Penwright founder'
99 languages
Whisper transcribes 99 languages, auto-detected while you speak. English and German get first-class cleanup. All of it runs on your Mac.

Privacy
Privacy by architecture, not by policy.
Penwright does not need your spoken content to provide the product. Audio, transcripts and local indexes stay on your Mac, and you can verify the network traffic yourself.
Content stays on your Mac
Dictation, transcripts, meeting audio and local indexes are processed and stored on your machine.
Included at launchData minimisation by default
Penwright's servers handle accounts, licences and billing, not the audio or transcripts you create on your Mac.
Included at launchNo audio or text upload endpoint
The Penwright API has no route for your dictation audio or transcripts. A server cannot leak content it never receives.
Included at launchVerify every claim
Use any network monitor you trust. The security page documents the traffic you should, and should not, see.
Included at launchA day on Penwright
Three moments where it pays for itself
- 01
Right after the subject interview
Speak the impressions and standout quotes the moment you leave the room. Penwright files them into NVivo or your transcript folder.
- 02
Reading a paper, dictating notes
Three minutes of voice notes per paper. By end of week you have a structured lit review instead of a stack of PDFs.
- 03
Grant-narrative drafting
Speak the rationale section while it's sharp in your head. Penwright turns the rambling first take into structured prose.
