About SpeakoFlow

SpeakoFlow puts your voice over your whole desktop. Speak, and your words land in any app — email, editor, chat, terminal. Say "Hey Flow" and it writes the whole reply from what's on your screen. Ask the assistant about what you're looking at and hear the answer back. It also cleans up your dictation, translates as you speak, and learns how you work. Everything can run on your machine — speech-to-text always does. Free, open source, MIT. Windows, macOS, Linux.
