AriaType is a privacy-focused, local-first voice-to-text application that acts as a system-wide AI keyboard. It's interesting because it combines fast, offline speech recognition with smart text polishing and a global hotkey workflow, targeting users who want to type by voice without sending data to the cloud.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, writers, knowledge workers
