Prose is a system-wide voice dictation tool for Windows. Hold a hotkey, speak, and
cleaned-up text is pasted into whatever app is focused.
It transcribes with Groq Whisper, then removes filler words and fixes punctuation
while preserving your exact wording — it will not swap your words for synonyms.
Requires a free Groq API key, which Prose asks for on first launch. Your audio goes
only to Groq; Prose has no backend and collects no telemetry.
