Description
Talkey is a voice keyboard for Windows. Hold the hotkey, speak, let go — your words land right where your cursor is, in any app: Slack, Gmail, VS Code, Claude Code, ChatGPT. It handles Mandarin mixed with English in the same sentence, including technical terms. And it learns: correct a word twice and Talkey remembers it from then on.

Could you build this?
Partial Triggering microphone capture and sending audio to an STT API is easy, but global system-wide key interception, reliable synthetic text injection into arbitrary active windows, and low-latency audio processing require native OS integrations.
What it would actually take: This requires a native Windows desktop application (C++, C#, or Rust) using low-level global keyboard hooks (`SetWindowsHookEx`) to capture hotkeys without latency. Synthetic keystroke injection requires using the Windows `SendInput` API or UI Automation framework to target focused controls correctly across legacy Win32, WPF, Electron, and Chromium apps. Additionally, mixed-language STT and custom vocabulary correction requires local fine-tuned Whisper models or customized speech pipeline integrations.
