More than output
Peanut does not stop once words are pasted. It stores useful history, supports replay, and gives you ways to reuse the work later.
FLUX alternative
Keep the messy-talk magic. Add the rest of the workflow.
FLUX sells a simple promise: ramble, clean it up, paste into any app. Peanut keeps that core desktop workflow and adds the tools people need before and after text appears.
Best FLUX fit
Simple voice-to-text with punchy, low-friction positioning.
Best Peanut fit
Voice-to-text plus read-aloud, translation, snippets, history, and metrics.
Decision point
If you want a broader daily voice workspace, Peanut is the better bet.
Useful in both directions
Dictate into apps when you need to write. Highlight text and listen when you need to review, learn, or reduce keyboard and screen fatigue.
Clearer controls
Peanut is upfront about cloud provider use and gives technical users bring-your-own key settings for direct OpenAI and ElevenLabs usage.
