Introducing almondvoice.com: ultra-fast voice typing for Mac. Not only is Almond 3x faster than the #1 cloud alternative, but it runs 100% locally on your Mac, making it infinitely more private. This is because Almond is architecturally different. Rather than sending your speech to a cloud LLM to "think" and return cleaned-up text (which is slow, unpredictable, and a privacy nightmare), Almond uses rule-based linguistic processing, enabling unparalleled speed and accuracy. Almond adapts to your writing style, supports custom vocabulary, personal shortcuts, name tagging in Slack, and file tagging for developers. Whether you've never tried voice typing or you're already using a cloud alternative, give Almond a try. You'll feel the difference immediately. Try it free for Mac today: almondvoice.com

@justin_khanna @AlmondVoice Glad you’re loving Almond!

@AlmondVoice Switched this week, been stoked so far with the performance!

We just benchmarked Almond against Wispr Flow. It wasn't even close. Almond is 4 times faster.

we’ve had 50+ people switch to Almond this week the most common feedback: ‘why does this feel so much faster?’ because it is

This also happened to my app. What I did to (finally) pass review: On the first signing screen.. when users click sign in or continue, pop a bottom sheet that says “We respect your privacy” “To provide app functionality for (your apps features), we may use trusted partners for data handling such as (openai, etc). By continuing, you agree to our privacy policy. For more information view our privacy policy here: (your privacy policy) Then a continue button. This actually didn’t tank conversion, if anything I saw them go slightly up as it builds trust on the user’s end.

Got our first “3rd-party AI data sharing” rejection from Apple. Need explicit permission + clear disclosure (what data + which AI provider). Anyone have a consent screen that passes review and doesn’t tank conversion? Pls share 🙏

@benjohnstonsf Yes there is! You can add these words to your vocabulary and it'll get the spelling right :)

@chalupacaleb Noice. I see in the settings there is a toggle for learning from corrections. Not sure how that could actually work but for me there are a bunch of services etc. that I use that I have to correct all the time e.g. "Zuub" gets transcribed as Zoom. Is there a way to prevent that

@_skris The Codex $200 plan is 100% worth it.

I cancelled my Claude Max subscription today. What would you recommend to replace Claude Code?

@sonny8s Works great

@chalupacaleb how is it for whispering quietly and cutting background noise?

@JuanOrdonezN ja pronta!, go to language -> turn on multilingual

@chalupacaleb When are you adding portuguese?

@JuanOrdonezN Great to hear!

@chalupacaleb I just downloaded it and it's amazing!

@benjohnstonsf Will do!

@chalupacaleb Loving it. mic selection and paste last transcript should be in menu bar dropdown.

@RobHoffman_ @trykleo im in

@chalupacaleb @trykleo ahaha for real? Let's goo!!

@mattstauffer @7okesh You should give Almond a try :) 3x faster than wispr, works offline

@7okesh i do

Claude Code CLI is goated but typing large amounts of text in the CLI is not. Pro tips: - option-left & option-right navigate by word - ctrl-c delete all - ctrl-w cut back a word, ctrl-k cut to end of line, ctrl-u cut to start of line, ctrl-y paste - ctrl-g go into vim mode

@jaro3th @Legendaryy Polish is supported!

@chalupacaleb @Legendaryy when polish

@knycksutherland Not on Vision pro yet

@chalupacaleb Building an agent orchestrator in Vision Pro that needs voice typing, was wondering if it’s possible to plug this in for speech to text functionality

@knycksutherland Not sure what you mean?

@chalupacaleb Is it possible to build almond into another product, would love to use it to replace whispr

@aubetony Yes! Select multilingual :)

@chalupacaleb Does it work with French?

@Nick_5anchez Thank you :)

@chalupacaleb Let’s gooooo! Congrats on launch sanchi 👏

@Praval Great! iOS coming soon. 3 weeks

@chalupacaleb Loving it already! Can't wait to try this out on iOS.

@Legendaryy Let me know how it works for you! Feel free to dm me

@chalupacaleb Does is support language switching mid sentence? I oscillate between English and German quite frequently

@VytasBu You'd need to update :/

@chalupacaleb @chalupacaleb do you have a version for Sequoia? would like to try it
