Talkwondo gives you full control of your computer by voice, free and with no sign-up. Dictate text live, say punctuation as you go, and fix mistakes with "delete word". With a small free Windows plugin you can also move and click the mouse, scroll, copy and paste into any app, press keys and shortcuts, switch browser tabs and minimise or maximise windows, all hands-free. Every command can be switched on or off, so your words are never mistaken for commands.

Could you build this?
Partial Basic voice-to-text dictation is trivial, but real-time, low-latency cross-application OS desktop automation and accessibility hooks require native Windows development expertise.
What it would actually take: The product requires a native Windows service/app built with C++ or Rust using the Windows Accessibility API (UI Automation), SendInput hooks, and native audio capture pipelines. It integrates a fast local speech-to-intent model (like a streaming Whisper variant or Vosk) to interpret navigation commands and translate them into deterministic mouse and keyboard events with sub-100ms latency.
