VoxScribe is an offline, open-source voice dictation tool for Windows and Android that uses local Whisper models to transcribe speech into any application. It offers features like hold-to-talk hotkeys, spoken commands, custom vocabulary, and batch audio-to-caption conversion, all while keeping audio private. The project stands out for its cross-platform, fully local approach and comprehensive feature set, though it targets a niche audience of privacy-conscious users needing offline dictation.

Target audience: privacy-conscious users, developers, writers, and anyone needing offline dictation on Windows or Android
