I built a free Mac dictation app with extensions share and build yourself

Wait 5 sec.

hey everybody :) I got annoyed by Wispr Flow's pricing and by how clunky the open source dictation tools I tried felt. I wanted something as simple as Wispr, free and customizable for my own use cases, without a bloated core. So I built and open sourced voz. You tap one key, talk and clean text appears wherever your cursor is. It runs locally with Parakeet and Apple's on-device speech to text, so nothing leaves your Mac and it works offline. The core stays small, and everything else is an extension, a bit like Raycast or pi.dev. Anyone can build and share one. Some that already exist: a local meeting note taker that cleans up your notes auto replies that answer messages in your tone, based on context it has about you a smart dictionary that learns names and words while you talk inline editing with voice or text Would love for you to try it out and give me feedback on what i can improve. Here's the repo: github.com/Joelheile/voz (free and MIT)   submitted by   /u/MrAnonymicus [link]   [comments]
