VoxScribe is a local, offline voice dictation app for Windows and Android that uses faster-whisper to transcribe speech in real-time and type it into any application via a hold-to-talk hotkey. It stands out for its privacy-first approach, rule-based text cleanup, and support for batch audio/video captioning, making it a practical alternative to cloud-based dictation services.

Target audience: end users, writers, developers, accessibility users
