VoxTyper
Offline dictation on the desktop: Whisper runs locally, on the GPU.
VoxTyper is Bitnoda’s own speech-to-text desktop app, written in Rust. It runs Whisper offline on the GPU and lives in the system tray.
The challenge
Dictation tools usually send your voice to a server, and they stop working when the internet does.
How it was built
The app
A native desktop app written in Rust that lives in the tray.
The recognition
Whisper runs locally, on the GPU.
The privacy
Fully offline: the audio never leaves the computer.
