Free Local Voice Transcription and Text-to-Speech

Dictate prompts with on-device speech-to-text and hear short AI replies through free local TTS in VibeFuse — no separate voice subscription.

VibeFuse includes free local voice for vibe-coding sessions. Hold the title-bar voice dock to record; speech is transcribed on your PC so you can dictate into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, or Qwen without a cloud STT bill. When an OpenAI-compatible chat provider is configured, short reply lines can speak through on-device TTS.

Privacy note: voice features ride the free VF- license; agent CLIs may still need network access. Full guide: local Whisper + Piper. Download VibeFuse free.
