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

StyleTyper is a desktop dictation app for Windows, macOS on Apple silicon, and Linux. Hold a keyboard shortcut, speak, and recognized text appears in the active application, including document editors, email clients, messaging apps, and coding tools. The app includes a customizable dictation bar with more than 100 visual styles and a gallery of over 1,000 additional styles. Speech recognition runs on the computer, and dictation works offline after a one-time language download. Audio is not uploaded, and the app requires no account and uses no telemetry. StyleTyper supports more than 100 languages. The first 2,500 words are free; continued use requires a one-time license purchase. It is designed for people who want speech-to-text entry across desktop applications, including those who write frequently or prefer speaking to typing.
