  "text": {
    "why": "Most dictation tools send your voice to a company server. VocaWin is built so that, once a model is on disk, recording and transcription stay on the PC. There is no account to create and no hosted speech service behind it.",
    "take": "The first line of its own page says \"beta, unsigned\". Stating that up front is more useful when choosing a tool than hiding it.",
    "build": [
      "A Tauri and Rust tray app. Right Alt is the default push-to-talk key, with a double tap to toggle; hotkeys, models, languages, silence detection and start-on-login live in Settings. Models (Whisper family, Parakeet, Moonshine, SenseVoice and others) download inside the app, and Windows acceleration runs on Vulkan or DirectML with a CPU fallback. Text is typed at the caret and your clipboard is left alone."

    ],
    "caveat": [
      "It is a beta and unsigned, so Windows will flag an unknown publisher. No model ships with the installer, so the first run needs the network once. Elevated windows can block text injection, and there is no auto-update. AGPL-3.0 means a modified, served version must publish its source."
