Ideation Lite: Quick Voice to Text

Quick voice typing in any language. Whisper runs in your browser, nothing leaves your device. Record, transcribe, copy. Free.

Ideation Lite is quick voice typing for your browser. Click the mic, talk, click again: the transcript is on your clipboard. Speech recognition runs inside your browser with OpenAI's Whisper, so your audio never leaves your device. WHAT YOU GET • Any language. The spoken language is detected automatically (99 languages with the multilingual model, chosen from your browser language). • Live captions while you speak, and the detected language. • Automatic clipboard copy, plus Insert to type the transcript into the field you were in. • No account, no sign-up, no subscription, no cloud. • Works offline after a one-time model download (40 to 210 MB). • A side panel that stays open while you browse other tabs. • Interface in English, Spanish and Simplified Chinese. HOW IT WORKS 1. Press Alt+I (⌃I on Mac) or click the icon to open the side panel. 2. Press Alt+R (⌃R on Mac) or click the mic and talk. 3. Press again to stop. The transcript is copied. Paste it anywhere, or click Insert. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics, no telemetry, no server. The only network access is the one-time model download from Hugging Face. WANT MORE? Ideation (the full edition) adds transcript cleanup, a history, model and language settings, and optional AI prompt structuring and smart correction. Open source (MIT): github.com/tdiipo1/Ideation
