Speak a thought. Keep your workflow.

01 / The context

A problem worth exploring.

Typing can interrupt the flow of a thought. A desktop dictation tool can turn speech into text where the user is already working.

A Python desktop core for hotkey-triggered recording, faster-whisper transcription, clipboard delivery, and optional pasting into the active window.

02 / Inside the project

See how it works.

Choose a step, inspect the details, and explore the thinking behind the experience.

A shortcut starts the desktop recorder.

Default stop shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + R. This webpage does not register either shortcut.

03 / Decisions & evidence

Behind the experience.

Approach & boundaries

The public source registers start and stop hotkeys, records audio, runs faster-whisper locally, and copies the transcript before optionally synthesizing a paste. Automatic model selection chooses base or large-v3 according to hardware. Model files may be downloaded; the inspected transcription path does not call a hosted speech API.

What the evidence shows

The public repository exposes a console-driven Python core. Its README mentions an independent Electron UI, but the UI and installers are not included. The illustration represents the verified core workflow, not a screenshot of that UI.
