Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I asked myself: why am I paying $20/month for voice dictation that needs internet? I'm Aryan, and I built Lucid Voice because I got frustrated with Wispr Flow and Willow Voice. They're great tools, but every time my internet hiccuped, my dictation died. Every time I wanted to write a private note, I wondered: "Is this being sent to someone's server?" Last month I was on a flight trying to write AI prompts for my code. No WiFi. No dictation. Just me and a keyboard. That's when it hit me: modern Macs are powerful enough to run these AI models locally. Why are we still sending everything to the cloud? So I built Lucid Voice - voice dictation that runs 100% offline on your Mac. How it works: 🎙️ Hold Control anywhere (Cursor, Notes, Messages, whatever) 💬 Speak naturally ⚡ Release - your text appears instantly Who's this for? → Developers writing AI prompts in Cursor (you speak 3-4x faster than you type) → Anyone who cares about privacy and wants their words to stay on their device → People tired of monthly subscriptions for basic features → Mac users who want dictation that works without internet The best part? After you download it, go into System Settings and literally block Lucid Voice from accessing the internet. It'll still work perfectly. Try doing that with Wispr Flow. The details: ✓ Works 100% offline ✓ One-time purchase (no subscription) ✓ Uses minimal RAM ✓ State-of-the-art AI models ✓ MacBook-style notch interface Real question: What's the app you use most where typing slows you down? Cursor? Notion? Email? Slack? Let me know below - curious if Lucid Voice solves YOUR problem (and use LAUNCH25 for 25% off)! 👇

I've just purchased the license for that software and I have to say I'm very disappointed.

Let's start with the fact that you have to keep holding the keyboard shortcut all the while you're talking and dictating.

The application software update doesn't work at all and provides just an error.

When you go to the app settings you get a blank window with no options nothing!.

This is a half-baked software if you ask me.

The app also claims that it supports several languages, but it worked only in English, and the result is very mediocre with lots of mistakes.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this software if you ask me from my own experience.

Wrote the developer but no reply.

Check his website terms of service and noticed, after asking for a refund, that no refunds will be provided in any case. If that was an honest developer, he could've easily provide a refund and just deactivate the purchased license number with no issue whatsoever.. apparently he knew what he was doing and that is why he got the no refund under his terms of service on the website.

I bought this app. Support smaller developers and all that. The update feature doesn't work, it always displays an error. Contacted the developer weeks ago via the support email - nothing.
