What broke when I shipped a local Whisper dictation app to real Windows hardware

·1 views

I built VoxScribe, a free, open source voice dictation app for Windows. You hold a hotkey anywhere, talk, release, and the text is typed into whatever app has focus. Speech recognition runs locally with faster-whisper, so the audio never leaves the machine. The Whisper part was the easy part. Almost every real bug came from audio hardware and drivers.

Study b : A Private Local AI Practice Partner for a College Friend

StudyB: A Private Local AI Practice Partner for a College Friend 🎓 This is my submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend. I built StudyBuddy, a small AI-powered practice partner for a college friend preparing for technical interviews, vivas, and exams. The problem was simple: sometimes you want to practice technical questions, but there isn't always someone available to practice with.
