Open Settings > Voice.
Open the local dictation model picker and select Whisper Large v3.
Let Studio download and cache the model.
Use the microphone button in the chat composer to dictate locally.

Model file

whisper-large-v3.bin: native F16 model for whisper.cpp
Download size: approximately 3.1 GB
Best for: highest transcription quality on capable hardware

whisper.cpp uses a custom GGML binary format for Whisper. The model file is therefore named .bin, not .gguf, even though this repository follows the common -GGUF repository naming convention.

No low-bit quantization was applied. Matrix weights are stored as F16, while tensors that whisper.cpp requires in F32 remain F32.

Manual whisper.cpp usage
