# Bind Voice Input
**Speak, don't type.**
Bind Voice Input is a macOS-native, fully offline voice input tool. Press a global hotkey to start speaking, press again when you're done — recognized text is injected at the cursor in any app. No internet required; your voice never leaves your Mac.

## Core Features
### Fully Offline, Local ASR
Powered by the built-in Qwen3-ASR model, speech recognition runs entirely on your Mac. No API calls, no usage-based fees — works even when you're offline.
- Run locally forever after the initial model download
- Low latency — text appears as soon as you finish speaking
- Multilingual recognition including Chinese, English, and more
### Global Hotkey — Speak and Write Instantly
Press a hotkey to start recording, press again to finish. The transcript is injected at the current cursor position. No window switching — seamless for writing, chat, and coding.
- Customizable global hotkey
- Tap to start / tap again to stop
- Works in most macOS apps (Word, Notion, Slack, VS Code, Gmail, Terminal, and more)
### Screen OCR Capture
Select any region on screen and extract text in one step. Combine with voice input to turn what you see and what you say into editable text.
- Select any screen region
- Multilingual OCR
- Copy or inject results directly
### Conversation Translation & Refinement
Built-in translation dialog with multi-turn support. Optional LLM refinement makes dictated text clearer and more polished.
- Real-time voice translation conversations
- Optional local or cloud LLM refinement
- UI available in 12 languages
---
## System Requirements
- **macOS 14** (Sonoma) or later
- Optimized for **Apple Silicon** (M-series); Intel Macs are supported but may be slower
- Initial launch downloads the Qwen3-ASR model (hundreds of MB, one-time)

## Design Principles
1. **Unobtrusive** — Menu-bar icon and lightweight overlay; stays out of your way
2. **Efficient** — Speaking is faster than typing; keep your flow uninterrupted
3. **Trustworthy** — Local processing, transparent permissions, data stays on your Mac
4. **Focused** — Deep macOS optimization, not a cross-platform compromise
