I built AIDictation.com, a voice to text app written in Swift. It sends audio to my own backend, runs it through a Whisper-based pipeline, and returns a transcription you can then send straight into an AI chat like ChatGPT or Claude.
I\u2019ve been building full\u2011stack apps for ~20 years, but this is my first Swift application. I leaned heavily on AI coding tools to get from zero Swift to a working app and backend in a couple of weeks.
What it does
Records audio and sends it to my server.\nThe backend runs a pipeline using Whisper V3 Turbo + OpenAI GPT OSS 120B.
I intentionally went with a cloud pipeline instead of on\u2011device models so I can:\n- Parallelize work on the backend and tune the pipeline.\n- Mix and match providers and models.\n- Improve latency without shipping new app versions.
After transcription, there\u2019s a \u201cshare to AI chat\u201d flow so you can send it with one tap to ChatGPT, Claude, etc.
Context rules\nOne feature I missed in Whisper Flow was configurable context rules (similar to the Super Whisper Modes). AIDictation lets you define how transcription should behave depending on what you\u2019re doing.
For example:\n- Meetings: keep speaker names and timestamps.\n- Coding: preserve technical terms and code formatting.\n- Journaling: be more forgiving, add punctuation, make the text more readable.\n- You can configure different presets and switch between them.
Why cloud instead of on\u2011device
A lot of apps focus on running models locally. I chose the opposite trade\u2011off:\n- Provider flexibility: right now I\u2019m using the Groq API because, in my tests, it had the best end\u2011to\u2011end latency (700-800ms), but the backend is built to swap providers and models.\n- This does mean audio leaves the device, so I tried to be very explicit about data handling.
No registration needed. You get about 2,000 words per month for free without creating an account or giving an email.
Tech stack\nClient: Swift (first real Swift/iOS app I\u2019ve shipped).\nBackend: NodeJS on Vercel.\nModels: Whisper V3 Turbo + OpenAI GPT OSS 120B.\nProvider: Groq API at the moment, mainly for latency reasons.

The transcription itself (Whisper via MLX) isn't new \u2014 plenty of people have done that. What I find useful is the combination: transcription, LLM cleanup (Qwen 2.5-3B via Ollama) and pasting wherever your cursor is. That last part is (to me) the magic of tools like WisprFlow, and it turns out you can replicate it in a single Python script, running fully locally with comparable performance to paid subscriptions.
It's a proof of concept more than a polished product, but I've been using it daily.
