I started working on https://ottex.ai three months ago just for fun to test Gemini 3 Flash as a voice-to-text model (by the way, it’s amazing, but a bit slow). However, it quickly transformed into my main project.

It's a free macOS app written in Swift that allows you to type with your voice. It supports local models and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) with a bunch of providers.

You can assign different models and post-processing steps to polish the text. For example, I have a setup for Obsidian that transforms my voice into clean, formatted Markdown. Or, when I use it inside VS Code, it switches to the Parakeet V3 instant local model.
