Dictation that runs on your own computer. Press a key, speak, and the text lands in the app you are using. Free and open source, for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Sayso is a free, open source dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Press a hotkey, speak, and the transcribed text is pasted into whatever app you're using. Speech recognition runs locally (Whisper, Parakeet, and other models), with optional cloud providers, AI post-processing styles, custom dictionaries, and dictation history.
Why now: It was recently shown on Hacker News as a new release, attracting attention as a privacy-focused, local-first alternative to cloud dictation tools.
Who it is for: Anyone who wants voice-to-text typing without sending audio to the cloud — privacy-conscious users on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
