Show HN: Local voice-to-text app that types keystrokes (works in RDP/Citrix)

Hi HN, I'm the creator of DictaFlow.

I built this because I was frustrated with existing AI dictation tools failing in my daily workflow. I work in a locked-down corporate environment involving a lot of Remote Desktop (RDP) and Citrix sessions.

Because those environments block clipboard sharing for security, most dictation apps that rely on "transcribe-then-paste" simply don't work.

How it works: Instead of pasting text, DictaFlow mimics human keyboard input (sending keystrokes).

1. Audio: Captures raw PCM audio (16kHz).

2. Processing: Runs a quantized Whisper model locally.

3. Output: Simulates keypress events with a tunable delay. This tricks the remote desktop into thinking a physical keyboard is typing, bypassing the clipboard restriction entirely.

Features:

- Context Aware: It handles code formatting surprisingly well (e.g., "function def" turns into python syntax).

- Privacy: It doesn't upload audio to the cloud for training.

- Local-First: Designed to be lightweight.

It's currently Windows-only. I'd love feedback on the latency or any edge cases you find in other VDI environments.
