About

Freeway is a free, privacy-first voice-to-text app for Mac that lets you turn speech into text anywhere you're typing. Just press a hotkey, start talking, and Freeway transcribes your speech in real time. When you release the key, the text is automatically inserted exactly where your cursor is — in any app, any website, any text field. No switching windows, no copy-paste, no interruptions to your flow. Speaking is up to 4× faster than typing, which means ideas move from your mind to the screen at the speed they appear. Whether you're writing emails, messages, notes, documents, or forms, Freeway removes friction and keeps you in motion.

About

Handy is a free, open source, cross-platform speech-to-text app that runs completely offline and puts whatever you say directly into any text field. Press and hold a configurable keyboard shortcut, speak, and release; Handy records your voice, transcribes it locally, and pastes the result into the app you are using. Push-to-talk is enabled by default, but users can switch to a toggle mode that starts and stops recording with separate key presses. Handy supports macOS, Windows, and Linux and keeps voice data on the computer instead of sending audio to cloud services. Users can choose between Whisper models and Parakeet V3, Whisper provides broad multilingual support across more than 99 languages, while Parakeet V3 is optimized for fast CPU performance and automatic language detection. Silence is filtered with voice activity detection, and GPU acceleration is available for Whisper where supported.
