A multi-platform development progress summary for VoiceDoz — Mac version ready, Windows in testing, website 80% complete.

When highly paid CTOs voluntarily step down to become individual contributors, it's not because they've lost their minds — it's because they see something the rest of us haven't yet.

A locally-run voice-to-text tool with AI polishing. One-time purchase, no subscriptions, your data never leaves your device.
