Tambourine: Your personal voice interface for any app

Explore Tambourine, an open-source voice interface for any app. Learn about real-time AI dictation, custom model integration, and the tech behind it, including Tauri, Pipecat, and WebRTC.

Overview

Tambourine is an AI-powered voice dictation tool that can be used with any text box. A fully open source alternative to Wispr Flow. It allows users to fully own the AI pipeline by swapping models and defining custom formatting logic. I will demo how to use it and talk about what situations AI voice dictation does particularly well in. I will also go into the technical details of how this was built on top of other open source frameworks, Tauri and Pipecat, as well as the infrastructure powering real-time voice AI like WebRTC.
