About SpeakoFlow
SpeakoFlow is a free, open-source voice dictation and AI assistant designed to bring seamless voice control across your entire desktop. Built by Abhishek Barali, it allows you to speak and have your words land directly in any application—whether that's an email client, code editor, chat app, or terminal.
With powerful contextual capabilities, you can simply say "Hey Flow" to have the assistant write a complete reply based on what is currently displayed on your screen, or ask questions about what you are looking at and hear the answers spoken back. SpeakoFlow also cleans up your dictation, translates speech as you speak, and adapts to your workflow.
Crucially, SpeakoFlow offers strong privacy options with offline functionality, ensuring that speech-to-text processing always runs locally on your machine. Released under the permissive MIT license, it is fully open-source and compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

About Vizhi
Vizhi (derived from the Tamil word for "eye") acts as a specialized mission control dashboard for monitoring and managing your Codex CLI sessions. Developed by indie developer Ravi Shankar, Vizhi is designed to keep an eye on active execution sessions so developers don't have to constantly tab back and forth into their terminal windows.
The tool provides deep integration with hardware controllers like the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, enabling users to keep track of up to six live sessions simultaneously. Through this physical interface, developers can perform quick action executions, such as one-press session approvals, and issue local voice prompts powered by Whisper.
For developers who do not own a hardware keypad, Vizhi provides a local browser dashboard that offers visibility and control over active sessions. As an open-source developer tool available on GitHub, Vizhi fits seamlessly into terminal-centric AI development workflows.
Pros of Vizhi
- Monitors up to six live Codex CLI sessions simultaneously
- Integrates with Logitech MX Creative Keypad for tactile, one-press approvals
- Supports local Whisper voice prompts for easy command input
- Offers a local browser dashboard for users without a physical keypad
- Open-source developer tool available on GitHub
Cons of Vizhi
- Full physical experience requires a specific device (Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Designed specifically around Codex CLI workflows rather than general terminal tasks
