VoiceBar

VoiceBar is a dictation and voice-assistant app for macOS built around a single held key. Hold fn and speak, and clean, punctuated text lands wherever your cursor is, in any app, at roughly three times typing speed. It reads the field the cursor is in and formats to match it — a literal command in the terminal, a polished paragraph in Mail, something quicker in Slack. Select anything on screen — a clause, a chart, a price — hold Option and ask about it, and the answer is spoken back without opening a new tab. Say "save this page to apartment hunt" and pages, selections, and dictated notes pile up in collections in your Library; weeks later you can just ask "which place allowed dogs?" and get an answer built from your own saved sources, cited and read aloud. It also writes shell commands to your terminal prompt on request, though it never runs anything itself. Cloud-first and requires sign-in and an internet connection. Currently v1.0 beta.
