Hi Product Hunt,
I built TalkPulse Native because I wanted voice-to-text to feel like a simple desktop shortcut instead of a separate product I had to manage.
The idea is intentionally focused: press `F9`, speak, and get the text pasted into the app you are already using.
I also wanted the free version to be genuinely private. TalkPulse Native uses a bundled local Whisper model, so audio and transcribed text stay on your machine. There is no login, subscription, API key, telemetry, analytics, or cloud audio upload.
It is best for quick everyday dictation: messages, notes, prompts, emails, documentation, and capturing ideas before they disappear.
This first launch is Windows-only and focused on the free offline Native app. I would really appreciate feedback on transcription quality, installation, microphone compatibility, and whether the `F9` workflow fits how you work.
Thanks for checking it out.
