Kiword is a private, on-device AI voice app with two modes for the whole family. 🎙️ Kids Mode — built for schoolwork Kids dictate homework and essays out loud, and Kiword turns their speech into guided outlines — never ghost-written text. Writing practice stays the point. 💼 Work Mode — built for professionals 🔒 Why local matters Kiword runs a local LLM on-device — no subscriptions, no cloud uploads, no data leaving your laptop. One license covers the whole family.

Hi PH! I'm Kevin Cheng, maker of Kiword. This started with my own kid: homework thoughts came faster than typing could keep up, and every cloud AI either needed a subscription per month — or happily wrote the essay FOR them. So we built Kiword: 🎙️ Hold a hotkey, speak, get clean punctuated text — powered by models that run 100% on your device. Nothing leaves your computer. ✍️ A writing coach that scaffolds (outlines, guiding questions, vocabulary) but never ghost-writes for kids. 💼 A parent profile with the same on-device AI for your own emails and docs. One $9/year license for the whole family. Honest status: Windows today, macOS is next (waitlist is open). We'd love your feedback — especially from parent-makers here. What would make this a must-have for your family?

"Special shoutout to @cj_pais for the incredible open-source project Handy, which inspired our local voice-processing architecture."
