Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I am Edo, the creator of Ratschn. My background is in mechanical engineering and business consulting, where my focus was always on optimizing processes and making things easier. Today I build digital products with the exact same goal. I want to help people and businesses save time and simplify their daily routines. I write a lot of emails and documentation myself, so I really needed a fast and reliable dictation tool to speed up my workflow. But I was quite frustrated by the available options. They were either highly inaccurate, forced you into expensive monthly cloud subscriptions, or they were local AI tools that required complex setups with terminal commands and API keys just to get started. That is exactly why I built Ratschn. My absolute top priority was a beautiful user experience and a super simple onboarding process. I wanted an app that just works right away. You simply install it and you are ready to dictate with amazing accuracy. There are no steep learning curves and absolutely no complicated configurations. For those interested in the tech side, Ratschn is built with Rust and Tauri so it feels incredibly lightweight and native on your Mac. It runs a large multi language Whisper model completely offline, optimized for Apple Silicon using CoreML. The result is extremely fast and completely private dictation. And the best part is that there are no forced subscriptions. You buy it once and use it forever. To celebrate the launch with this amazing community, I am offering a 30% discount for the first week. Just use the code PH30 at checkout! I am so excited to share this project with you all today. I would love to hear your feedback on the app, especially regarding the onboarding experience and the speed. I will be here all day to answer your questions and chat with you in the comments.
