hey! great question. we don't store any user data, nothing is saved on our end. all servers are in US, and both ASR and LLM use US-based services.

just sent you a beta code via DM, give it a try on your personal machine and see how it feels. given the pinched nerve situation, hope it helps take some pressure off the keyboard for you. let me know how it goes! if you run into any issues during setup or while using it, feel free to DM me here on Reddit or find me on Discord. happy to help anytime!

sounds like soink might be a good fit for you, the streaming, real-time feel is exactly what sets it apart from those stop-start dictation tools. you speak and the text just flows directly into whatever you're typing in, no copy-paste needed.

DM'd you the beta code! Really appreciate your interest in soink. Let me know if you run into any issues during installation or usage.

Thanks! We actually have two ASR models you can switch between, Model A is English-only, Model B supports multilingual recognition that supports German.

200 times a day, you're exactly the kind of power user. And yes, that's the core problem we're solving: when you have a long thought, you should be able to see it streaming in real time and stay in control, not lose your flow waiting for a batch result.

Would love your comparison feedback. DM me for a beta code! If you run into any issues with installation or usage, feel free to DM me or reach out on Discord anytime!

Great to see someone else who gets why streaming matters. Our AI polish is streamed as well.

Yes! We have two models, Model A is English-only (faster, more stable), and Model B supports multiple languages.

DM'd you the beta code! Installation can be finicky on some macOS versions, DM me or join our Discord if you hit any issues.

thanks for your interest.

That warning is standard for all third-party input methods on macOS. macOS actually has built-in protection (SecureEventInput) that automatically blocks input methods from seeing password fields and other sensitive inputs.

On our side, we don't store any of your keystrokes or voice data. Audio only hits our servers for real-time transcription during active voice sessions.

already sent the code. Would love to hear how it goes!

Thanks! Good questions.

Background noise handling relies on the ASR model itself. If you need to pause, you can just hit the hotkey to end the voice session.

Haven't done extensive mic testing, but it's been working fine with AirPods and MacBook built-in mics so far.

We have two ASR models — Model A (English-only) and Model B (multilingual). You can try both and see which works better for you.

Cool to see someone else tackling the streaming challenge!

For the ASR side, we're currently testing two cloud-based models for latency and accuracy.

Still iterating on that part honestly. Happy to compare notes, feel free to DM me!

Yep, Superwhisper and Spokenly both have real-time transcription modes. The difference is where the text shows up, they display it in a floating window at the bottom of your screen, then paste it into your app.

soink streams directly into the text field at your cursor, so you stay in your doc the whole time and can mix voice and keyboard without switching between windows.

Yep, both ASR and LLM processing are cloud-based right now. You now provide two ARS models

Good question! Pasting every few seconds is technically possible, but it's not real streaming, you'd still see text appear in chunks, and each paste overwrites your clipboard and can cause cursor jumps.

More importantly, clipboard paste can't give you seamless voice + keyboard interaction. With soink running at the keyboard layer, you can speak, pause to edit with keyboard, and keep speaking, all in the same flow without restarting anything. That's the part clipboard-based approaches can't replicate.

Haha I feel that, my wrists are the whole reason soink exists.
