  • Wavee — Local-First Desktop Dictation

    Overview

    Wavee is a local-first desktop dictation app for Windows and macOS. Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and Wavee turns your voice into polished text right where your cursor is — with full privacy.

    The Challenge

    Building a cross-platform desktop app that provides real-time voice-to-text with local transcription, global hotkeys, text injection into any app, and smart post-processing — all while keeping data on-device.

    Our Solution

    Developed a Tauri app with a React frontend and Rust backend. Integrated Whisper-based local transcription, implemented system-wide hotkey handling, clipboard and cursor text injection, and a searchable local transcript history.
