Pipevoice

Pipevoice is a free and open-source dictation application built natively for Windows. It allows users to dictate directly into any focused application, such as terminals, editors, browsers, or chat boxes, by simulating real keystrokes. Users can choose between fully offline operation using local Whisper and Ollama models, or integrate with cloud providers like Deepgram or OpenAI Whisper using their own keys. The application is private by default, with an option to keep all data on the local machine, and offers features like per-app profiles, customizable hotkeys, and accent recognition. It is particularly useful for AI coding, enabling users to dictate prompts much faster than typing.
