SayType

English · 中文说明 ↓

A voice input method built with Tauri that lets you dictate text in any application using a global hotkey and AI transcription.

Features

• Hold-to-Record Hotkey: Hold down Ctrl+Shift to start recording, release to stop and transcribe
• Real-time Audio Visualization: Waveform animation while recording
• AI Transcription: Uses Groq's or OpenAI's Whisper API for speech-to-text
• Auto-typing: Inserts transcribed text into the active application (macOS)
• Background Operation: Runs silently in the system tray
• Customizable Settings: Configure API key/provider, microphone, and language

Requirements

• Node.js 16 or higher
• A Rust toolchain (rustup) — required to build the Tauri app
• A valid Groq or OpenAI API key
• Microphone access permission (and Accessibility permission on macOS)

Installation / Development

# Install JS tooling (only @tauri-apps/cli)
npm install

# Run in development mode
npm run dev        # = tauri dev

# Build for production
npm run build      # current host target
npm run build:mac  # macOS (aarch64)
npm run build:win  # Windows
npm run build:linux

Then open Settings to configure your API key.

To publish a signed macOS .dmg to GitHub Releases (built automatically on a v* tag), see RELEASING.md.
