I was inspired by Wispr Flow and wanted the same workflow inside business apps (CRMs, docs, forms, support tools), not just a standalone tool. It’s saved me a massive amount of time vs typing.

How it works: add a couple lines of JS plus an API key, and SpeechOS shows a small mic widget on every text field.

Live demo: https://www.speechos.ai/

(Click a text box and the mic widget appears; click the gear icon to see settings, custom vocabulary, and snippet configuration.)

Users can:

- Dictate: speak naturally, real-time voice to polished text (punctuation, no filler/typos)

- Edit: say “make it shorter”, “fix grammar”, “translate...”

- Command: define Siri-style app actions (for example, “submit form”, “mark complete”), and we match intent to your commands

It also supports:

- Custom vocabulary: domain terms and names (product names, acronyms, jargon) so they transcribe correctly

- Text snippets: saved reusable blocks of text you can insert by voice (for example, “my signature”, “disclaimer”, “my address”)

Why: text entry speed and accuracy still matter for productivity tools. A large-scale text entry dataset with 37,370 participants showed an average typing speed of 36.2 WPM and ~2.3% uncorrected errors. In speech research, speech recognition was about 3× faster than keyboard input and had ~20.4% lower error rate for English text entry. (https://hci.stanford.edu/research/speech/)

I’d love feedback on:

1) Where this is most valuable in your stack (notes? docs? CRM entry? support macros?)

2) What you’d want from voice commands/snippets configuration

3) What would make you comfortable shipping this (privacy/security, latency, pricing)

If you’re building anything in voice AI/dictation, I’d be happy to swap notes (david@speechos.ai).
