Introducing Almond: Ultra-fast voice typing for Mac. Almond is 3x faster than the top cloud alternative and runs 100% locally on your Mac for ultimate privacy. Why? It's architecturally unique: Instead of sending speech to a cloud LLM (slow, unpredictable, privacy risk), Almond uses rule-based linguistic processing for instant, accurate text. It adapts to your style, with custom vocab, shortcuts, Slack name tagging, and dev file tagging. Try it free: almondvoice.com

Hey Product Hunters! 👋 Thanks for tuning in :) I'm Caleb, the guy behind Almond. Been working on this for months, and I'm stoked to finally launch it. Almond's an ultra-fast voice typing app just for Mac. It's basically a quicker take on Wispr Flow—3x faster, all offline and on-device, so no lag and your stuff stays private. No sending audio to the cloud. How it works: Instead of relying on a cloud LLM (which can be slow, hit-or-miss, and sketchy for privacy), Almond uses rule-based processing to turn speech into text right away, accurately. It learns your writing style, handles custom words, shortcuts, Slack mentions, and file tags for devs. People are using it like this: 🚀 Writers/creators: Dictate notes, emails, drafts without getting worn out typing—works offline on flights or wherever. 💻 Devs: Voice in code comments, docs, or commands with your own shortcuts, no breaks in flow. 📝 Pros: Type by voice in apps like Slack, Docs, Mail for meetings or quick ideas. 🛡️ Privacy folks: All local, no data going out—great for sensitive work. Free to try! Check it out at almondvoice.com. Got a bad voice typing experience, or a feature you'd love? Hanging out in comments all day—let's hear it! 🙌
