Cyberneura

Vocelo

A macOS menu bar push-to-talk app. Hold the hotkey, speak, and release to insert the transcript into the focused application.

The default hotkey is Control + Shift + V and the default language is Japanese. While recording, a floating panel in the middle of the screen shows the live transcript. It never takes focus and fades out once the text has been inserted.
