Closing the Voice Productivity Gap
Professionals rely on voice to think and collaborate, yet existing tools either lack technical vocabulary, compromise privacy, or force cloud-only workflows. We set out to build a transcription and writing assistant that understands code, adapts to context, and lets teams work securely across any desktop environment.
Context-Blind Transcription
Generic speech-to-text fails developer slang and domain-specific terminology, forcing tedious corrections.
Fragmented Voice Workflows
Voice notes, meeting recordings, and drafting require separate tools that do not integrate or share settings.
Privacy & Control
Teams need local storage, explicit model controls, and the option to run offline transcription modes.
System-Wide Access
Users wanted global hotkeys and dictation into any app rather than being locked inside a single editor.
Product Development
From Prototype to Production Desktop App
We combined human-centered research with a robust technical roadmap. The team iterated on voice capture quality, AI writing workflows, and system integrations through successive pilot builds, validating each milestone with power users before scaling.
Discovery & Voice Research
Interviewed developers, journalists, and clinicians to map dictation pain points, vocabulary needs, and privacy expectations. Benchmarked competing tools and documented success criteria for latency and accuracy.
Core Platform Architecture
Set up Electron + Vite monorepo, designed Supabase-backed settings storage, implemented modular speech pipeline, and codified design tokens shared across desktop and landing experiences.
Feature Sprints
Shipped file and media transcription, contextual AI writing commands, custom vocabulary management, system-wide hotkeys, and floating dictation bar with immediate pilot feedback loops.
Hardening & Compliance
Added offline Whisper models, configurable AI providers, local-first storage encryption, audit logging, Lighthouse optimization for the landing site, and cross-platform installers.
Project Objectives
Deliver Context-Aware Transcription
Support technical jargon, multiple languages, and custom vocabulary so teams receive usable transcripts without manual cleanup.
Enable Voice-Driven Authoring
Provide AI commands for drafting, rewriting, summarizing, and formatting text directly from voice prompts.
Respect Data Privacy
Store data locally by default, offer offline models, and give users explicit control over when cloud services are invoked.
Integrate with Any Workflow
Offer global hotkeys, floating UI, and clipboard workflows so SoLoVoice fits smoothly into existing desktop habits.
Core Team
A nimble squad collaborated closely with stakeholders, ensuring every decision aligned with business objectives and technical realities.

Technical Highlights
Electron + Vite Monorepo
Modern tooling enables fast iteration across desktop and landing experiences with shared packages and strict linting.
Hybrid Speech Pipeline
Supports cloud APIs and local Whisper engines with fallbacks, delivering low-latency transcription even offline.
Contextual AI Orchestration
Routes prompts through provider-specific adapters (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) based on task type, latency, and cost profiles.
System-Wide Dictation Engine
Global hotkeys, push-to-talk options, and intelligent text injection bring voice input to any application.
Local-First Data Security
Settings, transcripts, and custom vocabulary live on-device with optional encrypted backups and detailed audit logs.
Observability & QA Tooling
Automated linting, performance budgets, and release checklists ensure reliability across Windows, macOS, and Linux builds.
Visual Showcase
SoLoVoice blends a refined desktop dashboard with a polished marketing site, highlighting how voice-driven workflows unlock productivity for technical teams.
Before: Disconnected Voice Tools
Teams bounced between transcription services, note apps, and manual editing to clean technical language, leading to slow documentation and lost insights.
- • Generic transcription misheard technical terms and code syntax
- • No unified place to store, edit, and export transcripts
- • Manual rewriting to fit tone or format
- • Voice dictation restricted to single applications
- • Limited control over where data was stored or processed
The production app surfaces live transcription, AI drafting commands, transcript history, and global control states in an elegant desktop workspace.
Cross-Platform Presence
Electron builds target Windows, macOS, and Linux, while the landing site communicates value, captures leads, and routes users to installers.
Component highlights
- • Installer packages signed for all major operating systems
- • Floating bar responsive to system theme and DPI scaling
- • Landing page optimized for sub-second interactivity and SEO
- • Inline documentation links guide onboarding and support
