Golosok

Golosok is an open-source, privacy-first macOS utility engineered for instant voice-to-text dictation and batch media transcription. It runs 100% locally on-device using CoreML and the Apple Neural Engine (ANE). Zero cloud processing, zero subscription fees, zero privacy risks.

Key Features

• Direct Input Under Cursor: Press ? + Space in any active application (VS Code, Notion, Telegram, Xcode, Obsidian, Slack) — dictate — text drops instantly at your active cursor position.
• Dual Dictation Modes:
• Toggle Mode: Press hotkey once to start, press again to finish and paste.
• Push-to-Talk / Hold Mode: Hold hotkey while speaking, release to instantly transcribe and paste. Zero Cloud & Total Privacy: Audio streams and transcribed text never leave your machine. Ideal for confidential notes and NDA meeting records.
• Hardware Accelerated: Optimized for Apple Silicon (M1–M5). Inference is offloaded to the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) via CoreML, preserving CPU/GPU cycles and battery life.
• Multi-Engine Support: Integrates Sber GigaAM v3 for state-of-the-art Russian/Runglish/IT-slang accuracy and Whisper Large v3 / Medium for English and multilingual dictation.
• Batch Media Transcription: Drag-and-drop offline processing for audio and video files (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, WebM).
