Admix SpeakDeck
Read selected text. Hold to dictate.
Admix SpeakDeck gives one Stream Deck action two Windows workflows: tap to read the current selection aloud, or hold to dictate and type into the application that originally had focus.
Double-tap stops active speech or dictation. The English recognition model and required runtimes are bundled, and no Admix account is required.
- Local speech recognition

What it does
Built around the real workflow.
Hold to dictate
- Hold through the ready state, speak, then release to transcribe locally.
- Text returns to the application that originally had focus.
- If focus changes during processing, SpeakDeck refuses to type into the new window.
Local and self-contained
- The bundled English Whisper model runs locally.
- Normal use requires no separate Python, Whisper, CUDA, Vulkan SDK, or Visual C++ runtime installation.
- The plugin itself makes no network requests during normal use. A user-selected third-party Windows voice may use its own network service.

Why it exists
The problem behind the product.
SpeakDeck started with a simple problem: reading selected text and dictating a reply should not require a pile of disconnected tools. The result is one Stream Deck action with gestures that stay out of the way once they become muscle memory.
