Description
PrivateTranscribe is local-first voice dictation for Windows. Press a hotkey, speak, and the text lands in your app. Whisper runs locally by default so your audio stays on your PC. Cloud transcription is optional. Starter is free with 1,000 words/day, all Whisper models, CUDA acceleration, hotkeys, auto-paste, and local history. Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the word cap. Unfinished beta workflows require separate tester approval. Buying Pro does not grant beta access.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a desktop hotkey utility built with frameworks like Tauri or Electron that runs an embedded Whisper model locally and pastes the transcript into the active application.

Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
