Open-source local-first dictation app that transcribes speech with a global hotkey, licensed AGPL-3.0.
Epicenter builds Whispering, an open-source dictation app that records with a global shortcut and transcribes speech into text. Users speak and choose between cloud providers like Groq, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs or local models via Speaches and on-device GGUF. It is local-first: data lives on the user's machine as Markdown and SQLite; apps are licensed AGPL-3.0 while the developer toolkit is MIT. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, including a Chrome extension.
