  hex

  5.3k

  Hex is a desktop voice dictation app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is aimed at users who want to dictate text into any application while keeping transcription local rather than sending audio to a cloud service.

  The workflow is simple: the user holds a shortcut, speaks, and releases the key to paste the transcription into the current app. The project says the first launch downloads a speech model, after which nothing leaves the machine. It also provides downloadable builds for multiple platforms, plus installation via Homebrew, AUR, a Linux install script, and Nix. Experimental features are grouped under a Labs section in the sidebar, and additional documentation is available in the docs directory.
