About the project
A cross-platform dictation app for macOS, Windows and Linux that runs speech-to-text locally: press a hotkey, speak, and the text is pasted into the focused application.
Useful for
- Dictate text into any app via a push-to-talk hotkey without switching windows
- Pick and download a local speech model (Whisper, Parakeet and others) per platform
- Apply an AI style to clean up or rewrite transcripts before they are pasted

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 20:02–21:48: 18 → 19 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 11 days old and already has 19 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
