Combining the best of Wispr Flow's intelligent dictation, including automatic filler word removal, with Speechify's natural-sounding voices and smart text highlighting. All brought together through just two simple hotkeys. Built to make reading and writing feel effortless, especially for people who find both overwhelming or overstimulating.

Partial While wrapping Whisper and TTS APIs is easy, delivering low-latency system-wide global hotkey injection, audio buffering, and seamless inline text replacement across desktop apps requires non-trivial OS-level integration.
What it would actually take: Requires an Electron, Tauri, or native Rust/C++ desktop application capable of registering low-level global OS keyboard and accessibility hooks (CGEventTap on macOS, SetWindowsHookEx on Windows). The system must handle real-time streaming audio capture, pipe it to a low-latency transcription pipeline (like Whisper or Deepgram), apply post-processing filters for disfluency removal, and synthesize speech with millisecond-level word timing coordinates for synchronised highlighting.
