Dictawhisper
acmegeek · App
DictaWhisper is a local voice journal. You record in the browser, drop an audio file onto the page or optionally sync a phone folder, and it transcribes the audio with Whisper, on an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA or slowly on the CPU. Each recording gets a neighbouring JSON file that serves as the journal entry, and an optional cleanup step through ollanet tidies the transcript and pulls out possible actions. Python and a Whisper library must be installed separately. Windows is the exercised platform; macOS and Linux are unverified.

Why it's useful
Your voice notes become searchable transcripts kept as ordinary files next to the audio, on your own computer.
What you could do with it
- Hit record in the browser or drag an audio file onto the page to get a transcript saved beside it.
- Search your journal by words only, or by meaning when an embedding model is available on an allowed host.
- Review the possible actions pulled from a transcript and mark each as selected, done or dismissed.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (bin/dictawhisper.js:2)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.
In its maker's words
Local voice journal. Record or drop audio, transcribe with faster-whisper, keep the .json next to the file.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.1.12, the file with digest sha512-2A3Lkv4DsrQfk+rRdyHj784dhN9QrdMIxUefoKCcDySxff7h7zmkSqcDhttRvaKk5j2YL1k9jINuVQhVUpWWXw==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y dictawhisper@0.1.12Pinned to 0.1.12, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
