Physician burnout dropped from 51.9% to 38.8% in just a single month of using ambient AI dictation tools.
See the Clinical DataReclaim up to 15 hours a month by speaking instead of typing.
When you type, you filter yourself. You edit. You limit the context to save keystrokes. But LLMs are starved for context. A quick, messy 15-second "verbal brain dump" gives the reasoning engine vastly more clinical nuance and timeline data than a painstakingly typed prompt—resulting in beautifully structured notes that actually sound like you.
You hesitate. You correct typos constantly. The AI receives a bare-bones, highly filtered medical summary that inevitably yields a robotic, generic output.
You stream consciousness. You self-correct mid-sentence. "He had chest pain... actually wait, it was abdominal radiating to his back." The AI catches the organic correction and understands the clinical timeline perfectly.

Every feature built around one goal: giving doctors back the hours they lose every shift.
Hold Right Option anywhere on your Mac. Release when done. Your transcription appears instantly, exactly where your cursor is.
Hold Option + an Arrow Key to instantly invoke a different AI template — SOAP note, handover report, patient letter — without opening any UI.
Say "my email" and get your actual email. Say "clinic address" and get your full clinic address. Map any spoken phrase to expand into precise text — guaranteed, every time.
Murmur understands medical terminology, abbreviations, dosing, and ICD-10 structures — automatically corrected and formatted in every dictation.
Define your own AI formatting instructions per specialty or per patient type. Pulmonology notes look different from psych notes. Tell Murmur exactly how.
Built with Rust for maximum performance on both platforms. Apple Silicon-optimized Whisper AI on Mac. Full Windows 10/11 support. Under 1.5 seconds from mic release to paste on either platform. No loading spinners.
From speaking to formatted clinical text in under two seconds.
Click into your EHR, email, notes app — anywhere you need text. No switching to Murmur.
Press and hold Right Option. A discreet floating Pill indicator appears. Start speaking naturally.
Release the key. Murmur transcribes locally, formats intelligently with AI, and injects the result directly where your cursor is.
Your hands never left home row. Your cursor never moved. Your next thought is already waiting.
Not "HIPAA-friendly." Built from the ground up for the data sensitivity of clinical practice.
Your voice recordings are processed entirely on your local Apple Silicon chip. No audio is ever stored, transmitted, or accessible — by us or anyone else.
Because everything happens locally on your computer's hardware, there are no complicated Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to sign. You maintain total control over your clinical data at all times.
Doctors who made the switch from Dragon, typing, and burnout.
I finish my notes before I even leave the exam room. That has never happened in 14 years of practice. The Smart Templates for SOAP notes alone are worth it.
Dragon costs $400/year and still mishears my patient names. Murmur just works, it's private, and the hotkey feels invisible. This is what healthcare tech should feel like.
I set up my clinic address, my sign-off, and my three most common diagnoses in vocabulary. I dictate probably 60% less actual text now. Borderline unbelievable.

The ultimate "Right Option". Yours forever. No subscriptions, ever.
Get Lifetime AccessYes. Murmur processes all audio 100% on-device using Apple Silicon — no data ever leaves your machine. Your voice never goes to the cloud, and your patients' data is never stored anywhere, by anyone.
No. We detest medical software subscriptions. You pay once for a lifetime license, and the software is yours to keep, including all future v2.x updates.
Yes. Murmur works inside any app where you can click and type. It injects text directly where your cursor is via the macOS accessibility API, so it's compatible with web-based EHRs, native desktop apps, email clients, and anything else on your Mac.
Probably not. Murmur is professional-grade software built for independent physicians who control their own hardware—like a Mac in your home office or your private clinic. It requires admin privileges to install, which means it will not work on locked-down hospital carts where IT blocks third-party apps. (However, if you work from home and remote into the hospital via Citrix or VMware on your personal Mac, Murmur works perfectly.)
Dragon Medical requires a constant internet connection, expensive per-seat licensing, and sends your audio to the cloud. Murmur runs Whisper AI fully offline, costs a fraction of the price, and is significantly faster on Apple Silicon. It also lets you apply custom AI formatting that Dragon simply cannot do.
Yes. Murmur is a 100% offline application. The core dictation feature, Smart Templates, and Personal Vocabulary all run entirely on your local Apple Silicon chip. Your voice never goes to the cloud.
Murmur is optimized for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 chips). It runs on macOS 10.15 Catalina and later. Intel Macs are supported but may experience slower transcription.
On an M-series Mac, most short-to-medium dictations (under 60 seconds) complete and paste in under 1.5 seconds from when you release the hotkey. The Pill UI indicator lets you know Murmur is processing.
