About Fluid
FluidVoice is an open-source voice-to-text dictation app for macOS that runs local speech models and an optional on-device AI post-processor (Fluid-1) for context-aware formatting and capitalization.It provides system-wide input via a hotkey and overlay, letting developers, writers, and accessibility users dictate into terminals, code editors, email, chat, and documents.

FluidVoice supports multiple speech engines (Nemotron, Parakeet, Whisper, Cohere, Apple Speech) and multilingual transcription across model-specific language sets.Fluid-1 performs local post-processing to adapt tone by app, fix casing, format dates/numbers, and structure output without sending data off-device.

The app is optimized for Apple Silicon and Intel macs with CoreML/Metal acceleration for low-latency, real-time transcription and long-form sessions.Configurable modes (Write, Command, Direct) and per-app prompt profiles let teams control output style and integration with custom AI providers.

Detailed take after daily use: Fluid is strongest on speed and decent on quality when the brief is clear. I tested it against two alternatives on the same tasks (blog outline, meeting notes cleanup, and a short product FAQ). Fluid was the fastest and produced the least awkward tone. Weak points are edge cases — niche jargon and multi-step instructions sometimes drift. I solved that with a saved prompt style guide. Pricing is okay if you actually use it several times a week; otherwise the free tier may be enough. Overall I would recommend it to freelancers and small teams who need reliable first drafts, not final publish-ready copy every time.

Güzel bir keşif. Dokümantasyon biraz daha net olabilirdi ama öğrenince verimli.

Nice discovery. Documentation could be clearer, but once you learn it, it is productive.
