WaveCrab — On-Device Dictation for Mac
Hold a key, speak, release. Nothing leaves your your Mac
What it does

Just hold a key, speak, release. Pay once, own it forever.

Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
