DictationBar + soniox-core

Turns speech into clean text at the cursor in any macOS app, used every day for real work. A Swift menu-bar app streams audio to a concurrent Go server over WebSocket, and an LLM pass fixes punctuation and phrasing per user-editable profile.

Implementation Link to heading

• Native macOS Client: Swift menu-bar app with a global hotkey, live status states, transcript history, and auto-paste into whichever app was active.
• Concurrent Go Core: Streams to real-time STT over WebSocket and also transcribes uploaded audio/video files up to 512 MB.
• Tunable LLM Cleanup: Cleanup prompts and profiles are plain files, applied per request with no restart, and tuned against real transcripts with an evaluation command.
• Daily-driver Reliability: Reconnecting sessions, cleanup-failure advisories, and per-session JSONL logs, because a tool you dictate emails with cannot silently drop text.
