PipeVoice

What is PipeVoice?

PipeVoice is a push-to-talk voice typing app for Windows that types straight into whatever app you’re using. It works in terminals, editors, browsers, chat apps, and more, so you can speak naturally instead of copying and pasting from a separate dictation box. You can use it with cloud transcription, a free Gemini-based setup, or a fully offline path with local Whisper and Ollama, which keeps everything on your machine. It’s open source, has no account or subscription, and includes self-updating, per-app profiles, voice commands like “new line” and “send it,” dictation history, accent and language options, and hotkeys for different voices. It’s designed to be quiet, light, and easy to install on Windows 10 and 11.
