Roundhand vs TextBases
Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.
Hold a key and talk. Roundhand writes clean text shaped for the app in front of you: short in Slack, a proper email in Mail, a list in Notes, one line with exact casing in a terminal. Speech is recognised on your Mac and your audio is never uploaded or saved to disk. The built-in cleanup, also on your Mac, drops fillers like "um" and respects "scratch that".
TextBases is a collection of free browser-based tools for working with text and developer data. Count words, characters, sentences and lines; clean and transform text; format JSON, SQL and HTML; generate passwords and UUIDs; and handle common encoding tasks. Everything runs directly in the browser with no signup required.
