Use cases: voice input that fits your writing flow
WhisPaste speaks your words straight to where the cursor sits, in any app, local-first. Here is how that plays out in a few everyday workflows.

The three workflows below look different on the surface, but they run on the same mechanism. You hold a hotkey, you speak, the transcript arrives where the cursor already was — in the editor, the ticket field, the chat box, the note. There is no separate window to switch to, no “open the app first”, no copy-and-paste step to remember. That matters more than it sounds: the moment a tool asks you to leave what you are doing, speaking stops being faster than typing.
Everything runs on your own machine by default. The model sits on your disk, the audio never leaves it, and the app works on a train with no signal exactly as it works at your desk. That is what makes it usable for a code review under NDA, a medical seminar transcript or a half-written letter you would rather not hand to a cloud service.
Which one sounds like you?
The pages below are not feature lists — each one walks through a specific working day and the friction voice input actually removes from it. Developers care about staying in the editor and keeping their hands on the keyboard for everything except prose. Students care about capturing a lecture thought before it evaporates, and about doing that without an account or a subscription. People who write all day care about the wrist, the pace and the fact that a first draft spoken aloud is usually closer to how they actually think.
If none of the three fits exactly, start with the one closest to your day. The mechanism is identical everywhere, so anything you read on one page transfers to the others.
