Sonora
Local TTS, STT & dictation for Windows
Sonora is a Windows desktop speech studio that runs fully offline after models download, no cloud API for daily use. • Multi-engine local TTS with a studio UI and custom voices • Speech-to-text with optional speaker labels • Global dictation: hotkey voice typing into any focused Windows field • Localhost HTTP API so scripts and AI agents can call TTS/STT on your machine GPU-friendly, works on CPU too. Privacy-first voice for makers who don’t want every utterance shipped to a SaaS.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of Sonora.
I got tired of cloud TTS/STT for everyday work—latency, cost, and sending voice off-device. So I built a Windows app that keeps speech local:
🎙️ Multi-engine TTS (studio UI + custom voices)
📝 STT with optional speaker diarization
⌨️ Global dictation — hotkey into any text field
🔌 Localhost API for scripts & agents
After the first model download, it runs offline. GPU helps a lot; CPU still works.
Landing: https://sonora-olive.vercel.app/
Would love feedback from folks who care about local AI / privacy / agent tooling. What’s the first thing you’d try—dictation, TTS, or the API?
