Speak to Edit (local LLM)

[madebysan]

Summary

Select text → press hotkey → speak a correction → Wave replaces the selection with the edited version.

Details

• Detect when text is selected before recording starts
• Transcribe the spoken edit command
• Use a local LLM (e.g., Llama via llama.cpp or MLX) to interpret the command and apply it to the selected text
• Replace the selection with the result
• Keeps everything 100% on-device

Examples

• Select a paragraph → "Make this shorter"
• Select a sentence → "Change this to past tense"
• Select an email draft → "Make this more formal"

Why

This is Typeless's killer feature. Doing it locally would be a major differentiator — private AI text editing with zero cloud dependency.
