Voice to Text App for Researchers
Flunkey is a private, local-first voice to text app for researchers and academics on Windows. It facilitates literature reviews, citation notes compilation, and academic drafting by allowing you to dictate comments (F8) and request AI analysis (F9) in a secure offline environment.
Core Workflows
Dictate comments during literature reviews
Keep your hands free to handle print or digital research papers. Dictate notes and references directly into citation software (like Zotero or Mendeley) or writing tools.
Analyze theories with floating voice AI
Need to brainstorm explanations or review a complex methodology? Hold F9 to prompt the AI overlay. It streams replies from Groq LLMs without taking focus off your reference tabs.
Compile a searchable local database of thoughts
All transcripts are logged locally in your Windows profile. Search, filter, or copy past outlines to keep your thoughts organized across long projects.
How Flunkey works
Local-First & Privacy Architecture
Academic research demands strict confidentiality. Flunkey operates serverless on your system. It does not gather telemetry, log metrics, or record voice tracks externally.
