How it works
From shortcut to paste
The capture loop is designed to disappear into the rest of your desktop until you need text in the field that already has focus.
Trigger
Choose push-to-talk or a toggle so capture matches how you already work.
Record
A floating pill confirms when Proxima Voice is idle, recording, or transcribing.
Transcribe
Whisper runs on device, so the transcript appears without shipping raw audio away.
Paste
Paste into the active field immediately or copy the text for a second pass.
Privacy
Your audio stays on your Mac
Proxima Voice leads with on-device transcription, local recordings, and native controls instead of a cloud-first pipeline hidden behind a thin desktop shell.
Audio files stay local by default, together with your transcript history.
Switch between Whisper models depending on speed, accuracy, and hardware.
Manage recordings, model downloads, and history from a single native settings view.

Proxima Voice requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) for on-device Whisper inference. Intel Macs are not supported at launch.
Whisper large-v3 handles most accents and background noise well. Accuracy depends on model size and hardware — switch models in settings to balance speed and quality.
