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.

About

Memoe is a native macOS assistant for voice-driven computer interaction and task automation. Users can hold a keyboard shortcut in another app and speak a request, type to Moe, or enable the “Hey Moe” wake phrase. Memoe can work with connected mail, messages, and calendars; take meeting notes locally without joining the call; and operate Mac applications. The vendor reports connections to about 1,400 services. Memory is stored as editable plain files on the Mac, and Memoe asks for confirmation before sending content to another person. Speech recognition and voice processing run locally. Responses can use an existing ChatGPT or Claude plan, an API key, or a model running on the Mac. The vendor states that on-Mac features are free. Memoe is in beta and requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later.
