Is it possible to customise the key binding? Most of these services let you customise the binding, and also support toggle for push-to-talk mode.

#22Does anyone know of an effective alternative for Android?
Check out the FUTO keyboard or FUTO voice input apps. It only uses the whisper models though so far.

#23There's also an offline-running software called VoiceInk for macos. No need for groq or external AI. https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk
My favorite too. I use the parakeet model

#24Since many are asking about apps with simillar capabilities I’m very happy with MacWhisper. Has Parakeet, near instant transcription of my lengthy monologues. All local.
Edit: Ah but Parakeet I think isn’t available for free. But very worthwhile single purchase app nonetheless!

#25Is there a tool that preserves the audio? I want both, the transcript and the audio.

I use handy as well, and love it.

I just learned about Handy in this thread and it looks great! I think the biggest difference between FreeFlow and Handy is that FreeFlow implements what Monologue calls "deep context", where it post-processes the raw transcription with context from your currently open window. This fixes misspelled names if you're replying to an email / makes sure technical terms are spelled right / etc. The original hope for FreeFlow…
As a very happy Handy user, it doesn't do that indeed. It will be interesting to see if it works better, I'll give FreeFlow a shot, thanks!

Handy rocks. I recently had minor surgery on my shoulder that required me to be in a sling for about a month, and I thought I'd give Handy a try for dictating notes and so on. It works phenomenally well for most text-to-speech use cases - homonyms included.

Quick glance; FreeFlow already saves WAV recordings for every transcript to ~/Lib../App../FreeFlow/audio/ with UUIDs linking them to pipeline history entries in CoreData. Audio files are automatically deleted though, when their associated history entries are deleted. Shall be a quick fix. Recently did the same for hyprvoice, for debugging and auditing.
