Description
Hold a hotkey, say the thing, and clean punctuated text lands wherever your cursor already is — email, editor, chat. No window to switch to, no paste step, no cleanup pass. The speech model runs on your own machine by default: zero outbound requests during a local dictation, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off. An optional cloud engine is one switch away. macOS, Windows and Linux (beta) on one account. Unlimited dictation, no meters. From $5/month, or $199 once for lifetime.

Could you build this?
Yes A native desktop utility that registers a global hotkey, captures audio, runs local Whisper (via whisper.cpp), and injects text into the active window using OS accessibility APIs.
