Field notes
Deixis uses a held Ctrl+Win chord to arm a small voice-input panel beside the active caret, then types cleaned speech into the focused application on release. The page reports a 1.42-second median round trip and says recognition runs on the local CPU with zero audio bytes uploaded. Its mode keypad extends the same gesture to screen grabs, meeting transcription, translation, video, vocabulary lookup, and scripts that receive notes through stdin.
