Show HN: EasyDictate – Offline Voice Dictation for Windows

2 points by chux52 4 hours ago

Free Windows app for voice-to-text. Hold a hotkey, speak, release – text is copied to clipboard. Runs OpenAI's Whisper model 100% locally. No cloud, no API keys, no subscription. Your audio never leaves your machine.

Uses Whisper Base for speed (~1-2 sec on CPU). Accuracy is good for everyday dictation.
