Voice dictation tools have mostly followed the same playbook for years: send your audio to a server somewhere, let a cloud model transcribe it, hope the latency and the privacy policy both hold up. SpeakoFlow, which popped up on Product Hunt this week, skips that whole arrangement. It's free, it's open-source, and it does its voice-to-text and AI-assistant work entirely offline.

That offline part is the actual headline here, not a footnote.

It also means the tool works on a plane, in a basement office with no signal, or anywhere your Wi-Fi decides to have a bad day.

Bundling dictation with an AI assistant is the other interesting bet. Plenty of open-source projects nail transcription and stop there, leaving the actual
