Hey I'm James (I also build SignalEngine). Tomorrow I'm launching PipeVoice here: free, open-source push-to-talk voice typing for Windows. Hold a hotkey, talk, release, and your words type at the cursor in any app terminal, editor, browser, chat. I mostly built it to dictate prompts to Claude Code and Cursor without typing them out.
It already works and you can grab it now at pipevoice.app (code: github.com/Powleads/PipeVoice). Before tomorrow I'd love a few people to actually use it and tell me where it falls over an app it didn't type into cleanly, transcription accuracy, the fully-offline path (Local Whisper + Ollama), anything clunky.
Free, open-source push-to-talk voice typing for Windows. Hold a hotkey, talk, release — your words type at the cursor in any terminal, editor, or chat. Dictate prompts to Claude Code and Cursor, bring your own free key, or run fully offline.
Privacy-led alt: Free, open-source push-to-talk voice typing for Windows. Run Local Whisper + Ollama and nothing ever leaves your PC — no audio upload, no account, no telemetry. Hold a key, talk, release, and your words type into any app.
