The Quiet Echo

A fully offline speech-to-text app for macOS — fast, private, and entirely yours.

  • On-device inference — press, speak, paste. No round-trips, no waiting.
  • Zero telemetry — nothing leaves your machine. Ever.
  • Minimal UI — a hotkey and a floating HUD. Stay in flow.

Usage

Default hotkey: Fn (hold) — hold to record, release to transcribe and paste.

Mode Behavior
Hold Hold key to record, release to stop and paste
Toggle Press to start recording, press again to stop

Models

Powered by Qwen3-ASR — all-in-one speech recognition supporting 30 languages and 22 Chinese dialects, with speech, singing, and background music handling.

Model Notes
