Free and offline already wins the pricing fight against Wispr Flow at $144/year. Grammar correction is the gap though, and doing it locally means running a second model on top of Whisper. If JustScribe can nail that pipeline without tanking latency, the paid tools lose their strongest argument.
Semantic search across all note types is where the consolidation actually pays off. With a separate notes app plus task manager plus calendar, you end up searching three places for one thought. Brainstream collapsing capture and retrieval into one surface means the AI briefs have full context instead of a partial view.
Many people already use built-in macOS dictation or other tools like @Wispr Flow and @Aqua Voice; what’s the clearest scenario where JustScribe feels meaningfully better within the first 5 minutes, and what would have to be true for a user to switch and stick?
I just love the fact that it's a no data collection tool. Love this, and congratulations on the launch, @bring_shrubbery !
So all I need to do is talk and it types it out? So cool. I hate typing nowadays.
I recently started vibe-coding by talking. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of uploading my voice to the cloud AND paying for that every month. That's why I've build JustScribe! 🎉
I hope you find it useful, and as always - any feedback is welcome! Would mean the world to me if you share it on twitter!
