SayIt

Project Overview

SayIt is an open-source voice typing tool for Windows. Press a shortcut and speak — SayIt transcribes, cleans up, and inserts polished text wherever your cursor is. It supports local models, your own API keys, or a self-hosted backend.

Key Features

• Voice typing anywhere: Dictate into editors, chat apps, browsers, and other Windows software
• Editable AI cleanup: Remove filler words, repair recognition errors, format ideas, or keep a faithful transcript. Every prompt is yours to change
• Context-aware writing (off by default): Reads the text around your cursor so new dictation matches its tone and terminology. Select text first and your speech becomes an editing instruction
• Flexible speech recognition: Use a cloud ASR provider, run a local GGUF model on your own GPU, connect to the public trial server, or host your own backend
• English and Chinese interface: The UI follows your system language and can be switched at any time
• Hotwords and per-app rules: Improve names and technical terms, then change cleanup behavior automatically for different apps
• Overlay feedback: A small waveform overlay shows recording state and elapsed time, with optional live captions
• Transparent data flow: The app shows which mode is active and where audio and text are processed
• Local history and diagnostics: Review recordings, re-transcribe them, and collect useful troubleshooting details
