Amical AI is a free, open-source dictation app powered by Whisper that runs 100% on your machine — no subscription, no cloud, no data leaving your PC. In this guide I walk you through the full Windows 11 install from GitHub in under 5 minutes.
What you'll learn in this video: where to download Amical AI from GitHub (v1.9, 290MB installer), how to choose local vs cloud model during setup, how to grant microphone access, how to configure your push-to-talk shortcut (Ctrl + Win by default), and a full walkthrough of the interface including vocabulary, snippets, and AI model settings.
