Founder @ SIM DAD, local-first software.

About

Associate professor at SIUE Mass Communications. I run SIM DAD LLC. The thesis: some work has reasons to stay on the device, and the cloud-default for the tools researchers and writers depend on does not serve that work. We ship local-first alternatives for transcription, read-aloud editing, content analysis, and voice cloning. Substantiation papers public and methodology documented before launch.

Ibis - Local Whisper transcription for Windows. No cloud.

Ibis runs Whisper large-v3-turbo on your machine. Drop M4A or MP3 files into a folder, get a .txt with timestamps. No cloud, no accounts, no uploads. $24 one-time, three devices. For IRB-bound research and any work whose audio cannot legally go to the cloud.
