Screenshot from perplexity.ai: Query: What speech transcription app does Armin Ronacher use? It's visible on macOS in his videos. A little box with an audio waveform appears at the top center of his screen at (presumably) some keyboard command, and then the transcribed speech appears as text wherever his cursor is (pasted in there probably I guess?) Answer: The app visible in Armin Ronacher’s macOS videos is VoiceInk, a local speech‑to‑text app for macOS that uses Whisper-style transcription and pastes the result wherever the cursor is. A commenter familiar with his setup explicitly states that Armin Ronacher “employs https://tryvoiceink.com/ on macOS” in reference to those workflow videos, which matches the small waveform box and type-where-your-cursor-is behavior you describe.
