Hold Control, say what you want, let go. It types it for you. Ghost Pepper is a local hold-to-talk speech-to-text app for Apple Silicon. No cloud APIs, no audio leaving your machine, zero latency waiting on a server. The filler word cleanup is what made it blow up on Hacker News. You speak naturally, it pastes clean text. Dictate code, write emails, talk to your local AI agents without touching the keyboard.

Wooohoooo. Open source Whisper Flow?! But is it as good?
Just tried it. Its pretty darn cool I like it.
Other apps that do the same FluidVoice (free), Utter (freemium), Spokenly (freemium), Alter (freemium), Handy (free) and Pipit (free).
I’m so tired of news that are just README on video. That’s lazy. Try it. Tell your opinion. Test it out. This field is surrounded by cloud chasers.
A friend of mine had made the exact same thing, but on rust. The package size is 1/20th of what ghost pepper is:
