I have been a big fan of @Aqua Voice but do need something local for the times I don't have internet or am traveling. So I wanted to give @OpenWispr a try but didn't really want to go through the whole setup for it... so I gave @Claude for Desktopaccess to my files and computer and... it basically instantly installed the whole thing and got it working!
Then I asked it to package for me as a Mac app (.app) and what do you know... it did! Was honestly kind of amazing. There was one issue that I had to keep troubleshooting and that's sometimes Claude would reference the wrong environment or file... it could figure it out, but just something to pay attention too.
So now you can vibecode and quickly iterate on Open Source software using Claude Desktop, @Cursor, and @Warp. Use Claude to set it up, Cursor to iterate and build, then Warp to polish and debug.
Have there been any Open Source software that has scared you away but you might try install with this method?

I honestly couldn’t justify paying for another ai tool subscription, so I built this one myself.
OpenWispr, is an open source speech-to-text tool that runs 100% locally and helps you write 3-5x faster than typing.
It's especially helpful for prompting in ChatGPT, Claude and/or Cursor but really I use it for everything. I have found that LLMs are able to match your tone more closely when you speak to them, rather than when you type (as it forces you to articulate yourself more and you edit out your natural tone).
It's completely free if you clone the repo and run it yourself, otherwise for a small contribution you get access to automatic updates as they roll out.
Try it out and let me know what you think! DM me if you need help setting it up :)

@gabe_stein Congrats on the launch! A local, open source voice-to-text tool sounds incredibly useful for faster prompting and writing.
