• types into the terminal — detects the console and sends char by char, where Ctrl+V is dead
• perfect for Claude Code / Codex: a long prompt in seconds, by voice
• live equalizer: the wave moves with your voice — you can see the mic is listening
• any hotkey, any microphone, ru/en/auto
• overlay lands on the monitor with the active window (multi-monitor done right)
• autostart in the tray, ~0% CPU while you're silent
