Voice has way more bandwidth than the keyboard

I shipped a 100% local STT tool built on Voxtral to work faster without sending your voice outside your machine.

Voice has way more bandwidth than the keyboard.

Writing emails, managing agents, running commands, or sending WhatsApps is faster when you speak.

But I do not want my voice to travel halfway around the world.

That is why I built a 100% local tool with Voxtral, probably the most advanced open STT model right now (sorry Whisper, you earned your retirement).

What it does

  • No internet required.
  • No data sent outside.
  • Your voice stays on your machine.

Right now it is designed for Linux and WSL2. macOS is coming next.

If this is useful, I will publish a full setup walkthrough and a real day-to-day usage demo in upcoming posts.
