Why KoEmo vs. cloud or subscription dictation?
Most voice-to-text tools send your audio to the cloud, bill you monthly, and use one generic model for everyone. KoEmo runs on your own GPU, you pay once, and it can learn your voice.

$ Three reasons it matters
01 Privacy is structural, not a promise
Your audio and text are processed on your machine. Nothing is uploaded — ideal for NDA, legal, medical, and confidential work.
02 You own it
Pay once, use forever, free updates. No $10–15/month bill that adds up to $120–180 a year.
03 It learns your voice
Generic speech-to-text mangles names and jargon. KoEmo can train a personal model on your own audio and vocabulary — 2 free fine-tunes with purchase.
Honest fit: KoEmo needs Windows 10/11 and an NVIDIA GPU (GTX 900 series or newer). If you have one, you get desktop-grade accuracy at real-time speed. macOS/Metal is in development; AMD is not supported yet.
