Kivo

People speak at about 150 words per minute and type at 40 to 60. Dictation should have replaced the keyboard years ago. It hasn't, because the output needs editing, it doesn't live where you work, and the accurate options stream your microphone to a server.

Kivo fixes all three. Hold your key, speak, release, and in under 300 ms clean text lands at your cursor in the app you were already using. Fillers are gone, stutters collapsed and self-corrections resolved. Audio never leaves the machine. No account, no subscription, MIT licensed.
