Show HN: SpeechOS - Wispr Flow-inspired voice input for any web app
Hi Hacker News! I'm David Huie. I'm launching SpeechOS, a drop-in
voice input SDK for web apps. I was inspired by Wispr Flow and
wanted the same workflow inside business apps (CRMs, docs, forms,
support tools), not just a standalone tool. It's saved me a massive
amount of time vs typing. How it works: add a couple lines of JS
plus an API key, and SpeechOS shows a small mic widget on every
text field. Live demo: https://www.speechos.ai/ (Click a text box
and the mic widget appears; click the gear icon to see settings,
custom vocabulary, and snippet configuration.) Users can: -
Dictate: speak naturally, real-time voice to polished text
(punctuation, no filler/typos) - Edit: say "make it shorter", "fix
grammar", "translate..." - Command: define Siri-style app actions
(for example, "submit form", "mark complete"), and we match intent
to your commands It also supports: - Custom vocabulary: domain
terms and names (product names, acronyms, jargon) so they
transcribe correctly - Text snippets: saved reusable blocks of
text you can insert by voice (for example, "my signature",
"disclaimer", "my address") Why: text entry speed and accuracy
still matter for productivity tools. A large-scale text entry
dataset with 37,370 participants showed an average typing speed of
36.2 WPM and ~2.3% uncorrected errors. In speech research, speech
recognition was about 3x faster than keyboard input and had ~20.4%
lower error rate for English text entry.
(https://hci.stanford.edu/research/speech/) SpeechOS is currently
in beta and free for now. Sign up at
https://app.speechos.ai/accounts/signup/ and enter this HN-only
beta code: HN-JFc74cVC (please don't share outside HN). Links:

https://app.speechos.ai/accounts/signup/ I'd love feedback on: 1)
Where this is most valuable in your stack (notes? docs? CRM entry?
support macros?) 2) What you'd want from voice commands/snippets
configuration 3) What would make you comfortable shipping this
(privacy/security, latency, pricing) If you're building anything
in voice AI/dictation, I'd be happy to swap notes

| Pretty neat idea!
