FluidVoice - Open source voice-to-text dictation app for macOS with local AI

- FluidVoice is an open-source macOS app that turns speech into text using local AI models, meaning it runs entirely on your Mac without sending audio to cloud services like OpenAI Whisper or Google Cloud Speech-to-Text. - It uses the "Whisper" model family (from OpenAI, but open-weight) to perform transcription on-device. On-device AI avoids internet dependence and privacy concerns, but requires a modern Mac with sufficient RAM or Apple Silicon Neural Engine. - The project is hosted on GitHub under an open-source license, targeting developers and privacy-conscious users who want an alternative to built-in macOS dictation (which sends data to Apple) or paid services like Otter.ai. - Key context: demand for local-first AI tools has surged as users worry about data privacy and subscription costs; Apple's own dictation has limited features and no offline support for many languages.
