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

Monologue is a voice-to-text productivity app for Mac that lets users speak naturally and have their words converted into polished writing, while adapting to their personal style, vocabulary, and typical contexts. It supports over 100 languages, auto-recognizes user-specific phrasing (jargon, custom terms, etc.), works across many apps (like text editors, email, docs), and offers features like punctuation insertion, editing while dictating, voice commands, and integration with open models so the transcription is both fast and private. The goal is to help people “stay in the flow” of their ideas without interrupting momentum for typing; Monologue claims to reduce friction between thinking and writing, letting users dictate emails, documents, notes or drafts using voice, then edit or refine as needed. The interface is simple, with minimal latency, and it emphasizes letting the speaker maintain their style (not forcing standard patterns).
