Guide for DOTEwhisper users

DOTEwhisper install

DOTEwhisper is a desktop application that runs on your local computer. It is very easy to download and install the software and run it on the Windows and Mac desktop platforms. It should run on the latest versions of Microsoft Windows 11 and also Apple macOS (10.10 Yosemite or later; also macOS 12+ for the Apple Silicon M-series). Let us know if you have a problem installing and running DOTEwhisper on these platforms. Theoretically, it should also run on Linux, but we don't support this. Contact us if you are interested in using DOTEwhisper on this platform. If you can provide financing to support DOTEwhisper development specifically for Linux then let us know. Note that only one instance of DOTEwhisper is allowed to run at the same time.
