i · The problem
Most dictation ships your voice to someone else’s computer.
Wispr, Otter, Aqua stream your words to a server farm — transcribed there, stored there, trained on there. You never see the round-trip. You just trust it.
The loop closes on your desk. Nothing crosses the edge of your machine.
Six snags. Six answers.
- 01The snag
Raw transcripts read like transcripts — “so, um, i think we should like ship it tuesday.”
MicrooA local model rewrites each take into clean, punctuated prose before it lands.
Cleanup - 02The snag
Transcribe in one window, then copy, paste, reformat into another.
MicrooMicroo types the finished text straight into whatever app you’re in. No clipboard relay.
Inject anywhere - 03The snag
Generic dictation mangles names, jargon, and code.
Microo1,073 curated terms, plus the ones it learns from you — all spelled right.
Dictionary - 04The snag
One tone everywhere — formal mail, loose chat, same flat voice.
MicrooPer-app style: formal where you’re formal, casual where you’re not.
Style - 05The snag
No signal, no dictation. The tunnel, the plane, the locked-down office.
MicrooMicroo never needs the internet. Plane, basement, air-gapped network — same speed.
Offline - 06The snag
Fifteen a month, forever, for software that holds your data hostage.
MicrooBuy it once. It’s yours — no renewal, no data to ransom back.
Pay once
Press. Speak. It’s written.
- i
Hold the key
Press your hotkey. A pill appears at the screen’s edge and listens.
- ii
Say the thing
Talk naturally — German, English, or both. Correct yourself mid-sentence.
- iii
Let go
Release. Clean text lands where your cursor was, in under a second.
Five stages — and not one opens a socket.
The whole thing, end to end.
Today · History · Voice · Cleanup · Dictionary — all on your machine
Built like a tool you’d keep open.
What you said, and what lands.
Raw speech, clean output, and a sharper rewrite on request — the cleanup model runs on your GPU. Polish costs milliseconds, not privacy.
- Filler and false starts removed
- Punctuation and casing handled
- Optional rewrite for register

A quiet record, kept on your disk.
Words, pace, a ninety-day heatmap, your records. Every figure is computed and stored locally — nowhere else.
- Ninety-day activity heatmap
- Personal records and streaks
- Keep forever or wipe on close

A mark, not a panel.
A single warm capsule rests at the screen’s edge and breathes with your voice. No chrome, no clutter.
- Floats over any app
- A live waveform, not a spinner
- Gone the instant you’re done

v · The moat
It physically can’t leak.
Privacy you can verify — architecture, not promises.
- On-device by design
- Models load into your machine’s memory and run there. No datacenter in the loop.
- No network in the path
- Record, transcribe, clean, inject — none of it opens a connection.
- Your history, your file
- Everything lives in a local SQLite file you own, and can wipe.
- Honest about what ships
- Open-weight Whisper and Qwen, downloaded once, run offline forever.
