I built SpeakUp because I needed it. Typing with certain conditions means errors pile up faster than I can fix them. Dictation apps take over the screen. I wanted something that just patches the word and gets out of the way. Built in Swift, runs on-device. MIT open source. Feedback welcome, especially from anyone using it for accessibility.

How does it decide what to replace when the word appears multiple times in the text field?

 Thank you for your interest, It uses proximity weighting. When the same word appears multiple times, it picks the one closest to your cursor. The matching engine scores each candidate on both similarity (how close the spoken word matches) and distance from where you're typing. The word nearest your cursor wins — because that's almost always the one you just made a mistake on.
