Desktop speech-to-text with two modes: Fast Mode for cloud transcription and formatting, and Local Mode for fully on-device dictation. Available for macOS and Windows.
I got fed up with Wispr Flow charging for some basic services and decided to build a better version I could offer for free. Now we offer everything Wispr Flow does for free and just charge for the parts where we are truly innovating or cost us money.
Nice one, team. It's great to see a solid, free alternative in this space. Good luck with the launch!
The dual-mode approach is smart. I'm building a Mac-native video editor that uses cloud transcription for accuracy, but I'd love to offer a local option for users who don't want to send audio off-device. How does Local Mode handle longer recordings — say 60+ minutes of a lecture with technical terminology? And how's the Japanese accuracy in Local Mode?
Any recommends for keeping my voice clean? All these talking is making it scrangly 😅 Maybe adjacent business opertunity? :D
the dual-mode approach is genuinely smart. most speech-to-text tools make you pick a lane: either cloud quality or local privacy. having both in one place covers different use cases without switching apps. i've used a few Whisper-based tools and local accuracy is better than people expect now.
curious what the "formatting" in Fast Mode actually does in practice. is it punctuation and paragraph cleanup, or does it restructure the content more meaningfully? that feels like the bit that separates quick voice notes from something you could actually send without editing.
Love this! feels like Gen AI builders really need a space that’s more focused than traditional networks. The “build together” angle and emphasis on actually shipping things is especially strong.
Excited to see communities forming around people who are not just exploring AI, but actively creating with it.
We also launched today on Product Hunt — building Ogoron, an AI system that automatically generates and maintains test coverage as products evolve. Different layer, but same mindset of helping builders move faster and with more confidence :)
Good luck with the launch!
Hi Adam, congrats on your launch!
Wispr is charging for first-class STT quality, good UX and transcription speed. These things cost money, could you please share your plans on how to offer this for free?
I'm facing the same tasks in my product and I am open to discuss this!
Much needed Wispr flow alternative, I like the idea of trigger phrases as it prevents dictating the same thing over and over.
Hopefully it will be able to handle accent diversity.
