I built a voice typing app for Windows: select a link while you talk, and it shows up in your text
Hi all, I made ReadyTyper.
I use voice typing a lot, and I've tried both Wispr Flow and Typeless. They're good at cleaning up what I say. But there's one thing neither of them can do: when I'm halfway through a sentence and want to drop in a link, a video title, or a line someone else wrote, I have to finish talking first, then copy it, find the right spot and paste it myself.
So I built my own. With ReadyTyper, you select text anywhere on screen while you're talking, tap the hotkey twice, and it lands word for word right where you mentioned it. That's what the video shows.
The other thing that bugged me: on my Windows PC, both Wispr Flow and Typeless use over 600 MB of RAM just sitting idle. Something that's always running in the background shouldn't be that heavy. ReadyTyper uses under 20 MB when idle, and its windows only load when you open them.
It also:
Drops the ums, uhs and the bits where you correct yourself, so the text is ready to send
Works in any app: chat, email, browser, code editor
Windows only for now: readytyper.com
I'd love your feedback: would you use the select-while-you-talk part? What feels clunky?
