A local speech recognition tool that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Press a shortcut key and speak, and the text is immediately pasted into the app you are currently using. Conversion happens on the device without going through a cloud server.

After downloading the voice model on first run, all processing is completed locally. Since data is not sent externally, it is suitable for privacy-focused environments. It is written in Rust and follows the MIT license.

It supports a wide range of platforms, from Apple Silicon Macs to Windows x64/ARM64 and Linux x86_64/ARM64. It can be installed via various package managers such as Homebrew, AUR, and Nix. Experimental features can be enabled from the Labs menu at the bottom of the sidebar.

It provides an alternative for situations where typing is slow or keyboard use is inconvenient. Contributions from the open-source community are accepted as issues rather than Pull Requests, and the development team's agent processes them quickly.
