Ownvox

Private voice-to-text for any app on Mac & Windows

What it does

Ownvox brings voice to every app on Mac and Windows. Press a shortcut, speak, and the text appears right at your cursor: ChatGPT, Mail, Slack, your editor, anywhere. No window hopping, no copy and paste. It's three tools in one: dictation, voice prompts to AI, and AI Skills that rewrite selected text in place. Transcription runs locally (Parakeet, Whisper), so your voice stays on your device. One toggle for offline or EU cloud. Privacy-first and GDPR compliant.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
