Show HN: WhisperKeys - Offline macOS dictation, key-by-key

Most macOS dictation apps paste finished transcripts, which doesn't work with remote desktops including the Microsoft Windows App. So, I built a free, open-source (MIT) macOS app in Swift that actually works with VDIs.

Why? My VM is too slow to run Whisper locally, API keys cost money, and macOS transcription apps don't work with Windows Remote Desktop. This is my first public side-project and I would appreciate feedback and/or contributions!
