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

Spokenly is an AI-powered dictation app for Mac, iPhone, Windows, and Linux that turns speech into clean, punctuated text wherever you work. Hold a shortcut, speak naturally, and release to place the transcription directly at the cursor in browsers, email, chat, word processors, IDEs, terminals, and other apps. It supports more than 100 languages, including mixed-language dictation, and offers both local and cloud speech-to-text models. Whisper, Parakeet, and other on-device models can run completely offline, while cloud engines from providers such as OpenAI, Deepgram, Groq, Soniox, and ElevenLabs can be used for higher-accuracy or real-time transcription. Local Only Mode blocks network requests so voice data stays on the device. Modes let users save different transcription models, AI providers, prompts, and output styles for specific tasks, while AI Instructions can remove filler words, fix grammar and punctuation, summarize, rewrite, translate, or reformat dictated text.
