Hold-to-talk voice typing for Mac — on-device & private

What it does

InkTyper is hold-to-talk voice typing for Mac: hold Option, speak, release, and text appears at your cursor. SenseVoice runs on-device (free, offline, private). Bring your own OpenAI Whisper or SiliconFlow key for cloud accuracy, no subscription. Strong on mixed Chinese-English. One-time Pro + optional AI Plus. Free to start, macOS 14.6+.

InkTyper is an AI voice-writing tool built for faithful transcription, intelligent editing, and automatic paste in every app.

InkTyper is an AI voice-writing tool for people who think faster than they type. Press a hotkey, speak naturally, and get faithful, well-structured text inside the app you are already using. The Windows Public Beta is not yet platform-signed, so Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” warning. Microsoft Store certification is in progress. Start by defining the goal, validate the need with real users, then ship a version people can actually use. Traditional dictation expects you to compose every sentence before you speak. InkTyper lets you pause, add context, and correct yourself—then shapes the result for a message, email, note, or structured document. So next week we should launch this…from inktyper.ledgendaryanimal.top

    Hi HN, I'm a longtime web dev, but this is my first macOS app. Feedback is very welcome <3 I built TongueType because every dictation app I tried failed at least one of three things: it sent my audio to someone's cloud, it charged me monthly fee, or it felt clunky or enterprisy. The cloud thing kills it for anything sensitive. The subscription thing is insulting for what amounts to "Whisper + a hotkey." TongueType runs Whisper locally on Apple Silicon via CoreML. It's built to feel like a second keyboard: tap the hotkey, talk, let go, words appear. It sits in the menu bar (no dock icon, no…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
