introducing 🎙️ - a native macOS dictation app ◈ press/push to talk ◈ local whisper/parakeet models ◈ cloud models (optional) ◈ dictionary ◈ manually transcribe files (optional) ◈ ai rules ◈ ai modes $19 one time payment 🫡

screenshots if u don't wanna watch the vid 👇 personal suggestion: if u want local go with parakeet. I use groq cloud model with an api key, completely free and INSTANT even for very long recordings. get it here → and your productivity will skyrocket

my brother in christ just submit me to the app store

i messed up the price in the tweet 😭 it's $29, one time payment, 3 devices

wasn't that hard tbh

Yup yup Next time give something littler harder 🙈

I did this a little on my own asking Chatty-G what python crap I needed to install... definitely spent more than $19 of my own time. I recommend trying this yourself, learning a bunch, and then realizing the value offered here and immediately throwing a Hamilton at Kitze.

keep going, the monorepo is gonna publish itself 👍

how does it compares to macwhisper? does it have a free basic plan like that app?

hi it's really really good, has everything I needed, thanks! I've been wanting to build that for myself for quite a while 1 customer request: please let me use the `fn` key as part of my shortcut

done, releasing update soon

🫶

Congrats on the launch! Just bought it and it’s working really well! Haven’t tried the polish yet, will do when I text my parents later ;)

tnx for the support!

🤔

it's that much

finally something local, I love you. also, watched ur recent AI ENGINEER presentation, that was hilarious, keep it up.

thank you

looks great, getting this can we also get expo for @zerotoshipped this week 🥸

@zerotoshipped i hope so!

@zerotoshipped just bought it and it's great! keep up 🫡

Could you also add TTS

why

Nice.

This is great 🙏

That's very cool. I paid for Superwhisper, got tired of all the bugs, crashes, slow performance, and moved back to Wispr Flow. But I desperately miss being able to apply AI Flow to it after the text is dictated. I’ve been considering building my own, but will try out yours now!

This is pretty great!

tnx man!

is this a fork of @kitlangton's Hex?

Finally! Thank you. Instant purchase ✨

thanks for the support!

goated, I was thinking of making my own so I don’t have to pay monthly but couldn’t be bothered haha, thank you, I’ll buy this for myself as a Christmas gift

Looks amazing man! Thx for providing competition to the subscription based approach

Say 19$ but be charging 29?

the landing page says $29, it's 29, the tweet is wrong

Wow! I guess I’m canceling the whispr flow sub.. btw, curious, how long did it take from idea to shipped?

it took very long to polish this, @rovensky helped with making the initial mvp of shortcut + dictation + insert in a field, but it was a pain in the ass to polish it and release it tbh

That looks great! I love how you display the models and it seems dummy proof.

This is super cool, I don't like paying monthly for Wisprflow! P.S. It says $29 on the website

yup it's that much, i messed up the number haha

So, I pulled the trigger and bought Sotto. It's pretty good. I'm actually using it right now. I also have a very strong accent. Can't complain. I was using Wispr Flow and I was spending way more money than just paying $29 once.

nice 🙌

Damn this is actually dope, congrats on the launch @thekitze. I will definitely check it out once my wispr flow subscription expires, given that I got it for free for a yearly sub Tho having it all local is enticing already

finally someone making a dictation app that doesn't require your entire life in the cloud

shiiiit kitze back in the kitchen

never left

I use default mac os dictation which works great. why would I use your app instead for it?

way way way more accurate, + ai processing

true ... but you pay for this app and then you pay extra for AI usage.

As Italian gotta say it, dope name

eyy

let's go!

Just wondering how is this different from superwhisper?

the biggest one is one time payment, also not sure if superwhisper has ai fns and post processing

its $49 now :(

Says 29 on the site 🤔

it is that much, i messed up in the announcement
