TRACK 01 — UNPLUGGED

Your voice never leaves the deck.

The speech model lives on your hard drive, the same way songs used to live on a tape. Pull the Ethernet cable, switch off the Wi-Fi, take it up a mountain. TapeDeckAI keeps working, because it never needed a connection.

Nothing to rent.
Speech recognition and cleanup run on your own CPU and GPU. We don't run any servers, so there's nothing to hack, throttle or shut down.
NO INTERNET
Airplane mode approved.
On a plane, in a cabin, or behind a strict firewall, it works the same everywhere. Dictation never waits on a signal.
TRACK 02 — LINER NOTES

Remember when you owned your stuff?

There was a time when you pressed REC and the recording was simply yours. It sat on a shelf, not on somebody else's server, and nobody charged a subscription for your own voice.

At ThreeLeaf Digital we missed that feeling, so we built a tape deck for the AI age. It's fast and private and stays on your machine. It's free because good tools should be passed around like mixtapes.
