A look inside Hey Spot.
Everything Hey Spot brings to the table.
Speech Recognition, Offline
Voice is transcribed on your own PC with a bundled Vosk model. No cloud, no account, no audio leaving the machine for ordinary commands — it works with the network off.
Continuous Wake Word
A single always-on audio stream listens for "Hey Spot" without the constant beeping and mic-churn of a polling assistant — and it gates itself while speaking so it can't wake itself up.
Real Control Of Your PC
Launch apps, set the volume, work the media keys, lock, sleep, shut down, take a screenshot, show the desktop, type, scroll and press key combos — all by voice.
Click Things By Name
Windows UI Automation lets Spot read the interactive controls in your foreground window, so "click Save" or "right click the file name" hits the real control instead of a guessed coordinate.
Any Settings Page
Around ninety mapped phrases open the exact Windows settings page or classic applet you asked for — "open display settings", "open device manager" — and it understands pages beyond the built-in list too.
Asks Before Anything Destructive
Shutdown, restart, delete, uninstall, close-without-saving — Spot speaks a confirmation and waits for a yes. It stays on by default, and you can toggle it off.
