Wurd is a voice keyboard for Mac, Windows and Android. Hold a hotkey (or tap the mic on Android), speak in any of 74 languages, and clean text appears where your cursor is: fillers and false starts left out, your meaning kept. Switch to Translate and Wurd types it in another language in the same step, so you can speak Bangla and send English. Free: 2,000 words a week. Pro: $12 a month, with a 14-day Pro trial, no card. The iPhone app is waiting on Apple’s review.

Could you build this?

Partial Speech-to-text via existing APIs and LLM-based cleanup and translation are easy to wire together, but system-wide hotkey dictation on Mac, Windows, and Android requires platform-level input and accessibility APIs and low-latency handling that vibe coding alone struggles with.

What it would actually take: Native shells per platform (Swift/AppKit, Win32/C#, Android IME) with a speech backend such as Whisper or a cloud ASR service and an LLM for cleanup and translation. The hard parts are native text injection at the cursor, latency, and reliability across apps. This needs developers experienced with OS-level input methods and audio.
