Hi! I’m Amos — you might know me from articles/videos about Rust. I work too much, and regularly, my cat requires pets which prevents me from physically accessing the keyboard. There’s plenty of nice open-source dictation apps around (Hex, Handy etc.) but none quite worked for me: I wanted Qwen3-ASR, the best model right now in my opinion, I wanted to make it streaming (that’s genuinely novel tech I still hope to blog about), and I wanted to make it a real macOS input method, with a lot of care put into solving the little every day annoyances (input switching, dictation cut too early, etc.). I’m pretty happy with the result, and several people have asked me if they could have it — now the answer is yes!
