Description
Push-to-talk voice dictation for Windows and macOS that runs entirely on your machine. Hold a hotkey, speak, release — auto-edited text lands at your cursor in any app: fillers removed, spoken punctuation applied, sentences capitalized. Say “scratch that” to rewrite mid-sentence, or use voice commands. English and German, powered by NVIDIA Nemotron models on your own GPU. No cloud, no audio leaving your machine. Source available; 14-day free trial, then €40/year.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard desktop UI is straightforward, but integrating local GPU-accelerated streaming ASR (NVIDIA Nemotron/Whisper via TensorRT-LLM/CoreML) with ultra-low latency and OS-level keyboard/accessibility hooks requires native system programming.
What it would actually take: The core application requires a native desktop wrapper (Rust with Tauri or native C++/Swift) that interfaces with OS-level global hotkeys and accessibility APIs (Virtual Key events on Windows, CGEvent on macOS) to type directly into active windows. The inference pipeline requires local runtime bindings (such as ONNX Runtime, whisper.cpp, or TensorRT-LLM) fine-tuned for local GPU acceleration and streaming audio input, followed by a deterministic rule-based text normalizer. The engineering hurdle is packaging cross-platform GPU driver dependencies and native OS input simulation seamlessly.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
