Transcription with zero wait.
Doing transcribes locally in real-time — no upload, no server, no spinner. Your words are already there.
60 seconds of audio transcribed in ~400 milliseconds. On-device.
Measured using doing's built-in benchmark tool. Cloud providers available via bring-your-own-key. Powered by Parakeet-TDT by NVIDIA, licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
Level up with YOLO Mode.
Turn it on and Doing automatically presses Return after pasting your transcription. Speak, release, and your prompt is already running.
YOLO is a mindset shift. Stop editing, stop polishing, just talk. LLMs know what you mean, even when your words aren't perfect.
Works with every AI tool and app.
Doing works at the system level. Anywhere you can type, you can talk. Hold fn in your browser, editor, or terminal — Doing transcribes and pastes wherever your cursor is.
Audio Ducking
Keep your music playing.
Doing automatically fades your audio down when you start recording and brings it right back when you stop. No fumbling for pause. No breaking your flow.
Post-processing
Customize with Skills.
Write prompts that automatically process your transcription before it's pasted. Clean up filler words for Slack. Formalize for email. Convert to a code prompt for Cursor.
Skills are app-aware — set different skills for different apps and they trigger automatically based on where you're pasting.
Runs on-device with Apple Intelligence, or plug in your own API key for GPT-4o, Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Rewrite in a professional tone with proper punctuation and structure.
Convert spoken description into a clear, technical instruction for an AI coding assistant.
Condense into concise bullet points. Keep key details, drop filler.
Replace the entire transcript with emoji. No text, just emoji.
5 engines. 1 benchmark tool.
Choose your engine with data, not marketing.
Doing ships with Parakeet — an on-device model that transcribes 15 seconds of audio in 180 milliseconds. But we don't lock you in. Bring your own API key and benchmark every engine side-by-side on the same audio.
Local · free forever: Parakeet (v3), Apple Foundation
Cloud · bring your key: OpenAI Whisper, Gemini, AssemblyAI
Cloud engines use your own API key — you pay the provider directly, per use. No middleman markup.
Okay, we're gonna test the benchmarking tool. I'm just speaking out loud here while um to collect some words for the transcription process.
Built by a builder
I built the voice tool I wanted.
I'm Brian. I use AI tools like Claude Code every day, issuing hundreds of prompts. I got tired of typing all of them — and I didn't love that every voice tool on the market was sending my audio to their servers.
So I built doing. Now it's how I build everything — including doing itself.
Doing is bootstrapped. No investors, no pressure to become a platform or monetize your data. Just one person building a tool that does one thing well.
Local. Fast. Yours.
