Show HN: Jexxa: High Speed on Device Dictation
Jexxa is a macOS application that provides high-speed, on-device dictation using local AI models. It functions entirely offline, ensuring user privacy by keeping all processing and data on the local machine.
Why it matters
It highlights the growing trend of running powerful AI models locally on consumer hardware to bypass privacy concerns and latency issues associated with cloud-based services.

The model is on your disk. Hold a key, speak, and the words appear where your cursor already is — in any app that takes text.

Most dictations are typed within a fifth of a second of letting go of the key. No queue, no per-minute cost.
