About

Hi, I'm Timothy 👋 Founder of Openbroca (openbroca.com), an AI dictation app for Mac: talk messy, read clean. Speak naturally in any app and get polished text in 30 languages, with translation into 28. Voice has been my thing for years: real-time speech-following for a teleprompter, Voice2Note (1st prize, Tsinghua LLM Application Hackathon), and Openbroca Origin, the MIT-licensed project where Openbroca started. By day I'm a full-stack engineer at yuanze-dev (Electron, Rust + Tauri, Flutter). 8+ years of coding, from Lua phone scripts in middle school to web reverse-engineering, Java and AI-native work.
