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
Yap is private, on-device voice dictation for Apple Silicon Macs and Windows 10 and 11 PCs. Press a keyboard shortcut in any app, speak, and Yap types clean text at your cursor, in email, documents, notes or chat. Speech recognition and cleanup run on your PC itself: audio is never uploaded, and dictation works without a connection (setup and periodic license checks need internet). On Windows, hold Ctrl + Win in any app, speak and release; speech is recognized on your PC by NVIDIA Parakeet in 25 languages and never uploaded. Yap detects the spoken language automatically and keeps a local history of past dictations. USD 6.90 a month or USD 69 a year, with a 14-day free trial (card required). Windows, hold Ctrl + Win in any app,
