Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built VoltType because I kept hitting the same wall with dictation software on Windows.
The tools that existed were either cloud-only — everything you say goes to a server somewhere; heavy — RAM-hungry to the point they slowed down the machine I was trying to dictate on; or static — they never got better at understanding how I speak.
The core problem with cloud-only dictation isn't just privacy in the abstract. It's that if you dictate anything real — client calls, medical notes, legal summaries, personal writing — you're trusting a third party with every word. That felt like the wrong default.
So here's what VoltType does differently:
1. Full offline mode on Pro. Audio processed locally using whisper.cpp. Nothing sent, nothing stored on a server. It's not a setting buried in a menu — it's the point.
2. It learns your vocabulary. Names you use constantly, your domain's jargon, your writing patterns. Most dictation tools transcribe what you say and stop there. VoltType improves accuracy in the areas that actually matter to you.
3. Light on Windows. Runs on CPU, designed for Windows as the primary platform — not a macOS port.
There's also a $99 lifetime option. If you're going to use a dictation tool for the next several years, it shouldn't feel like a tax.
The 14-day trial is full Pro. No card. Try it, see if the offline mode and vocabulary learning change how you use it.
Happy to answer anything — launch day, no nonsense. 🎙️
