Been using Handy I am pretty happy but good to see more options, specially OSS.
The native / built-in API SpeechAnalyzer (introduced last generation on iOS and MacOS) works quite well.
Are folks finding it lacking / needing alternatives?
This reminds me very much in terms of features as https://github.com/cjpais/Handy https://handy.computer , what's the use case for this over that?
I recently switched to Voiceink which also does similar. I'm trying to find the edge this has over that but can't find it
VoiceInk took a little time compiling but it's been working flawlessly for the three people that use it now for dictating consultation notes.
They both use parakeet so I guess they would perform similar.
How good is parakeet (assuming it’s Sota oss) compared to wisprflow? Wisprflow is magical ime
ye parakeet redux has been my new fav, that and tdt v2 both working well for my own clone app that was made.
This came up a month ago - I forked from something now gone - https://github.com/NickJLange/parrot
And if MacOS 26 does it right - all of this is no longer necessary for us to vibe fork/ code on weekends :-)
P.S. Handy looks slick. May be able to ditch mine
This is pretty neat, I built something similar a couple months ago. I'd say try to support Windows or Linux next.
How does it compare to handy ?
