Hey
Not long ago, I challenged myself to learn a new technology called Electrobun. My Wispr Flow trial was running out, so I thought: What better way than to build my own dictation tool?
And to make it even more challenging, I set one rule: no AI until I could dictate my prompts to it - using my own software ofc.
The result is Codictate.
There is a demo video (somewhere on the page), or you can head to https://codictate.app and try it yourself.
Instead of paying 12-15€ a month talking to your computer, maybe give Codictate a try?
Happy easter 🐣
Really helpful for someone who is bilingual as we use my native language words while speaking English.

Who hunted Codictate?
Codictate was hunted by Emil Lykke Grann. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
