VocalCode
Push-to-talk voice input for AI coding
What it does
VocalCode is a desktop push-to-talk dictation tool for coding with AI. Hold a key or mouse button, speak, release, and clean text lands in the active field in most desktop apps. Speech recognition runs locally: audio and transcripts are not uploaded. It supports Windows 10/11 and Apple Silicon macOS, includes a 30-day full trial, and costs $4.99 once—no subscription or account.
VocalCode, also written Vocal Code, is push-to-talk voice input for AI coding on Windows and Apple-silicon Mac. On-device speech recognition, $4.99 once, no subscription.
Push-to-talk voice input for coding with AI. On your machine, in most desktop apps, without sending speech to a server. No window to switch to, no dictation box to copy out of. VocalCode types into the active text field in most desktop apps — your editor, terminal, chat or code review. Audio is decoded on this computer. Responsiveness varies with hardware, audio length, language and model; we do not publish an unsupported latency promise. Recognition sends no audio or transcript. Initial trial setup, activation, periodic licence refresh, model downloads and update checks use the internet. Choose one of 25 European language preferences, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Korean or Japanese. Parakeet…from vocalcode.app

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
