AriaType v0.1

AriaType is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that enables voice‑to‑text input directly within any active window. Users hold a configurable hotkey, speak naturally, and upon releasing the key the transcribed text is inserted at the current cursor location, eliminating the need for copy‑and‑paste or separate panels. The workflow is limited to three steps—activate, speak, release—keeping interaction close to the work at hand.

The software is built as a local‑first solution; speech recognition runs on the user’s device by default, with cloud services available only when explicitly enabled. This design emphasizes privacy and gives users control over model choice and optional text‑polish passes that can remove filler words or adjust tone. The interface follows a minimalist desktop aesthetic, with rounded panels and restrained visual motion to stay unobtrusive.

Targeted at individuals who type frequently and seek a hands‑free alternative, AriaType provides a practical, quiet‑by‑design voice input method that integrates seamlessly with existing productivity workflows without requiring accounts or external services.
