Why we included this project

For anyone who spends their day dictating notes or typing up meeting minutes, this is a solid voice-to-text option. A hotkey drops your speech into the cursor position of whatever app you're in, and you can keep the whole pipeline local with Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet, so audio never leaves your machine. If you'd rather have speed, it also works with cloud models using your own API keys. It can detect Zoom, Teams, and FaceTime calls for live transcription with speaker labels, and you can drag in audio or video files for later transcription. Since it builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
