My boyfriend made an accidental product that I now use everyday

I don’t know how common this is for everyone else but, my boyfriend made a voice to text application for me.

I work with Claude a lot, and what I find is that when I am using my voice it’s really slow and doesn’t get it right. It doesn’t get the punctuations or if it’s a question, or anything like that and it’s so slow.

So he built this lightweight app that sits locally on my computer and I use it for everything. It’s lightning fast, it gets my voice and hardly gets it wrong and the best part - I just recently put in a feature request (lol) to read text back to me, because sometimes I have heavy documents that I just want to be narrated to. And he shipped it!

Anyway, I realise that I have been using it literally every single day. I’ve completely moved from typing to just speaking to my computer.

I suspect the future will be full of micro apps like this, tailored for you & your personal workflow! Not sure where he wants to take it, but still I’m a very happy user :)

How are you guys working these days? Voice or typing?
