Show HN: Keynap – On-device AI voice typing app for Windows

Keynap is a local voice input app for Windows that supports multiple languages, processes audio entirely on-device, and offers free unlimited voice typing with optional one-time purchase premium features.

Hello. I created Keynap, a local voice input app exclusively for Windows.

The reasons I developed this app are:

  1. While Mac has both standard voice input and plenty of good voice input apps, I couldn't find one for Windows that had the feel I wanted.
  1. I did not want to send all the audio input on my PC to the cloud.
  1. I wanted to avoid paying ongoing subscriptions for input tools.

Main features:

  • Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and more.
  • Runs fast on CPUs (even faster with a GPU).
  • Completely local, on-device processing.
  • Distributed via Microsoft Store with automatic updates.
  • Voice input is free and unlimited (some premium features are one-time purchases).

As I am a native Japanese speaker, I would appreciate your feedback on whether it works comfortably in languages other than Japanese.

As a thank you for trying it out, I will give away perpetual licenses for premium features to the first few people who respond→ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532540&mstoken=JGVTF-...
