Independent Developer
I built OpenTypeless in half a day using Claude Code. As a solo developer, I believe great tools should be free, open, and respect your privacy. OpenTypeless is my answer to voice input that actually works.
The Story
I was frustrated with existing voice input tools — they were either locked to one provider, required subscriptions, or produced text that needed heavy editing. So I built OpenTypeless: a desktop app that lets you pick any STT and LLM provider, works in any application via a global hotkey, and produces clean text you can use immediately. Built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript in the spirit of Microsoft's open source philosophy.
Tech Stack
Tauri (Rust) for the native shell — fast, lightweight, and secure. React + TypeScript for the UI. A modular provider system that makes adding new STT and LLM services straightforward. The website you're reading is built with Next.js and deployed on Vercel.
