What works today and what does not

State of the code on 2026-11-07: version 0.1.0, no public release, no download. No benchmarks, no accuracy numbers: I have not measured them yet.

Exists in the code

The core

  • Global push-to-talk shortcut.
  • Local Whisper transcription, Portuguese language.
  • Language-model formatting, instructed to write European Portuguese.
  • Pasting into the active window and detecting the application name.
In preparation

Platforms

  • macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows are the targets of the automated builds.
  • Linux is not supported: pasting and window detection do not exist there.
  • No version has been published and the auto-updater has no key configured yet.
Undecided

Architecture

  • Two ways to transcribe (a Rust engine and a Python helper) and two to format (OpenRouter or a Supabase function). One of each will remain.
  • Pricing and plans: the code has a free limit and a draft paid plan; nothing is settled.
Does not exist

Not promised

  • Spoken punctuation commands (“vírgula”, “ponto final”, “nova linha”): punctuation is inferred by the model.
  • A fully offline mode: formatting needs the cloud. Without it you get Whisper’s text as it is.
  • A rule-based AO90 guarantee: the instructions ask for European Portuguese and do not fix the spelling agreement.
  • Personal dictionary, text snippets and styles: the app has screens for them, but I have not confirmed they change the output, so I do not advertise them.
