I built an open‑source alternative to Typeless that can also run fully offline

说明与用途

作者构建了一个完全离线、注重隐私的语音转文本工具，替代 Typeless，支持多种 ASR 模型、本地处理和安全的移动麦克风集成。

问题

Users need a voice‑to‑text tool that works offline, respects privacy, and can be used in any application without a wake word or continuous listening.

结果

The author delivered a fully offline, privacy‑preserving voice‑to‑text tool that can be used in any application via a keyboard shortcut, with optional AI polish and dictionary replacements. It supports multiple ASR models, GPU acceleration, and mobile microphone integration.

工作流

• 1. User presses Ctrl+Alt+Space to start recording. 2. Audio is captured only while the shortcut is held. 3. Recognition runs locally using one of five downloadable models. 4. Dictionary replacements are applied. 5. Optional AI polish refines the text. 6. Replacement rules adjust the output. 7. The final text is pasted at the cursor and the original clipboard is restored.
• 8. For mobile use, a phone can act as the computer’s microphone via a secure Opus stream.
• 9. A headless Linux server (voltip‑server) can provide the same service with an OpenAI‑compatible API.
• 10. All text sent to external AI services is pre‑processed; no audio is transmitted.
• 11. API keys are stored in the system keychain and sent only to their respective providers.
• 12. The tool supports offline operation and can be run on GPU or CPU depending on the model and platform.

证据

Hold Ctrl+Alt+Space, speak, let go; the text is pasted at the cursor in any app, then the clipboard is put back.
