Thank you for building this tool! I tested the software today for the first time. The dictation quality itself is excellent, but I encountered a few bugs and UX limitations during my testing. If you wanna compete with wispr flow or tools like handy
🐛 Bug Reports & UX Issues
- Ambiguous / Generic Audio Device Names
Issue: The audio input device dropdown only displays generic Windows device categories (e.g., Headset Microphone, Echo Cancelling Speakerphone) without the specific hardware/model names.
Comparison: Standard Windows settings (and other apps) display the full device model beneath or next to the device name (e.g., Poly BT700, Yeti Stereo Microphone, or AMD Audio Device).
Impact: Users with multiple microphones or headsets cannot easily distinguish which physical device they are selecting.
- Missing Visual Overlay
Issue: No visual overlay or on-screen indicator is displayed when recording.
Impact: There is no visual feedback to show whether the software is actively listening or processing speech.
- Hotkey Lock-Up / Repeating Character Issue
Issue: After automatic punctuation triggers (inserting a period once a sentence ends), the active hotkey gets stuck in an infinite input loop.
Reproduction Steps:
Set the dictation hotkey to Ctrl + Y.
Dictate a sentence.
As soon as auto-punctuation inserts the trailing period, the letter y starts typing endlessly (yyyyyyyy...).
Root Cause: Auto-punctuation insertion seems to interfere with hotkey release detection.
💡 Feature Requests & Improvements
- Audio Cue on Recording Start
Current Behavior: An audio chime only plays when stopping transcription.
Request: Add an audio tone when recording starts so users immediately know the software is listening—especially helpful when no overlay is visible.
- Advanced AI Post-Processing (Custom Prompts & OpenRouter)
Request: Add an option to enable automated post-processing via custom AI providers (e.g., OpenRouter or direct API integrations).
Details: Allow users to define custom prompts (e.g., cleaning up filler words, reformatting, or restructuring text) that run automatically on the raw dictation before inserting it.
- Flexible Hotkey Configurations
Toggle Mode: Support pressing a single hotkey once to activate recording and pressing it again to deactivate.
Dedicated Keys: Allow setting separate, dedicated hotkeys for Start Recording and Stop Recording.
