JustScribe is a privacy-first live transcription app for macOS. Instant, offline speech-to-text powered by AI. No cloud, no data collection. Your voice, your data.
I recently started vibe-coding by talking. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of uploading my voice to the cloud AND paying for that every month. That's why I've build JustScribe! 🎉
I hope you find it useful, and as always - any feedback is welcome! Would mean the world to me if you share it on twitter!
Many people already use built-in macOS dictation or other tools like @Wispr Flow and @Aqua Voice; what’s the clearest scenario where JustScribe feels meaningfully better within the first 5 minutes, and what would have to be true for a user to switch and stick?
@curiouskitty Nr. 1 reason is that it's offline and free. I'm building it mainly for myself, so the user experience will improve with time. macOS dictation is already worse at transcribing than JustScribe. @Wispr Flow does work better because of grammar correction, but this feature will also be added soon to JustScribe, and no subscription will be needed to use it 💙
Thanks for your question btw:)

Is there any way to make the trigger button just function? That's my biggest reason to use Spokenly - it's free (well, dirt cheap with API usage) and I can activate it with the function key that is so close to where my hand is resting, ha.
Love the privacy-first approach. I've been doing voice-to-code workflows too and the cloud dependency always bugged me - not just the privacy aspect but the latency. On-device means you can actually use it while pair programming without awkward pauses. What model are you running locally? Whisper variant? And how's the accuracy with technical jargon - like when I'm dictating variable names or API endpoints?
