Walkie turns speech into polished text in any app, gives you meeting transcription with notes and who said what, and reads anything aloud in 950+ voices — free and fully on-device when you want. Mac, Windows, Linux, and iPhone.
I am super excited to be relaunching Walkie, the only privacy focused voice app. Now with Dictation, Meeting Transcriptions, Text to Speech and Ask an Agent.
the "who said what" part is the claim I'd want to poke at before trusting it for real meetings. speaker diarization is hard even server-side with a clean single-mic recording, and it gets meaningfully harder on-device with a laptop mic picking up a call through speakers or a crowded room. does it fall back gracefully, just drop the speaker labels and give a flat transcript when it's not confident, or does it guess and assign a speaker anyway? a wrong "who said what" in meeting notes is worse than no attribution at all.
I dictate a lot, on Vowen right now. What are three reasons I'd switch to Walkie? I think the thread would want them too.
My best thinking happens while I'm pacing around the kitchen, and by the time I sit to type it's gone flat. Talking it out and getting something clean back fits how my head works
How does it work with notes or previous meetings we need to review? Does it provide a brief walkthrough? Is this technically possible if all necessary materials are in the database?
