#115This thread is a support group for people who have each independently built the same macOS speech-to-text app.
I'm tracking them all here: https://opensource.builders/alternatives/superwhisper Just added Ghost Pepper, and you can actually create a skill.md with the features you need to build your own
Handy with parakeet is pretty awesome by the way!

#116Interesting, I'm surprised you went with Whisper, I found Parakeet (v2) to be a lot more accurate and faster, but maybe it's just my accent.
I implemented fully local hands free coding with Parakeet and Kokoro: https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo

#118I've been using handy since a month and its awesome. I mainly use it with coding agents or when I don't want to type into text boxes. How is this different?
Part of the reason handy is awesome is because it uses some of the same rust infra for integrating with the model, so that actually makes it possible to use the code as a library in android or iOS. I have an android app that runs on a local model on the phone too using this.

#119Parakeet is significantly more accurate and faster than Whisper if it supports your language.
Parakeet supports japanese now, but I cant find a version ported to apple silicone yet.
