Pomvox

What it does

Pomvox is free, open-source voice dictation for macOS. Press a key, talk, and clean text appears at your cursor — transcribed on the Apple Neural Engine. Your audio never leaves your Mac.

Free, open-source voice dictation for macOS. Hold a key, talk, and clean text lands at your cursor in any app. Filler words gone. Audio stays on your Mac.

Hold a key, talk, and clean text lands wherever you type. Your voice never leaves your Mac. I think we should ship the beta on Thursday, and tell the list on Friday. There’s no network code in the transcription path. Audio and text stay on your Mac, and it works with the Wi‑Fi off. Mail, Slack, your editor, the terminal. Hold the key, talk, let go. The words land at your cursor. Fillers go, punctuation arrives, and when it isn’t sure, you get back exactly what you said. Pomvox Cleanup Engine turns raw transcripts into text a person would send, locally, with every edit accounted for. Pomvox is a free, open-source voice dictation app for macOS. You hold a hotkey, speak, and let go. Pomvox…from pomvox.ai

  I built a macOS dictation app where everything runs on-device. Transcription, auto-correct, translation. No audio or text leaves your machine. It ships with 4 transcription engines you can swap between: WhisperKit (99 languages), NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B (25 European languages, fastest of the bunch), Qwen3-ASR 0.6B (30 languages), and Apple Speech on macOS 26+. They all run through CoreML/Metal. Whisper is the most versatile, Parakeet wins on raw latency for European languages, Qwen3 does better with CJK. I went with a protocol-based architecture so you pick the engine that fits your…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
