PipeVoice is a free, open-source push-to-talk voice typing tool for Windows. It types real keystrokes into any focused application—terminal, editor, browser, chat—eliminating the need for copy-paste. Key features include:
- Multiple transcription engines: Google Gemini (free tier), Groq Whisper, Deepgram, or local Whisper (100% offline).
- AI polish providers: Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or local Ollama for text cleanup.
- Privacy: Fully offline path with local Whisper + Ollama; no telemetry, no servers.
- Per-app profiles: Automatically switch behavior (raw text, polished, auto-enter) per application.
- Voice commands: Say "new line", "scratch that", "send it", etc.
- Dictation history: Locally saved transcripts.
- Silent auto-updates: SHA-256 verified.
- Hotkeys: Multiple configurable keys for different voices (Social, Professional, Code).
Target users: developers, writers, and anyone who wants to type faster by speaking, especially for AI coding prompts in Claude Code, Cursor, or terminals.
