Why CineVox

Dictation that respects your work

Cloud dictation tools send your voice and your ideas to someone else's servers. CineVox does the opposite: the model runs on your machine, and nothing leaves it.

Fully offline

Transcription runs locally with faster-whisper. Unplug the network and it still works.

Any app

Hold a hotkey, speak, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is: Notepad, Cursor, your browser.

Creative-tuned

Cleanup, rewrite modes, per-app profiles, and voice macros, shaped for writing, prompting, and production notes.

Your hardware's speed

Built for a real GPU. Large-v3 quality, near-instant, with no per-word fees.

How it works

Speak → local model → clean text → anywhere

Hold a key

Press and hold your hotkey (default Right Ctrl), or tap to toggle.

Speak

Audio is captured in memory and transcribed on-device. It never touches disk or the network.

Clean or rewrite

Deterministic cleanup, or a local Ollama rewrite into prose, a prompt, or a message.

Paste & export

Text lands at your cursor, ready to seed a VibeBoard, Campaign Engine, or Vault starter.

Download

Get the app

CineVox is a native desktop app. The Windows beta is available now as a downloadable zip. A proper Mac build needs a macOS packaging, signing, and notarization pass, so Mac access is open by request while that build is prepared.

Windows beta

Available now

Download the Windows beta package, unzip it, place your local faster-whisper model in the model folder, then launch CineVox.exe.

Mac beta

Packaging

Mac support is planned, but the downloadable DMG has to be built and signed on macOS before it should be offered publicly.

Optional rewrite via local Ollama on 127.0.0.1 only
Text-only history, off by default
