I'm seeing a lot right here: https://github.com/FluidInference/FluidAudio

I don’t see any there that are as focused as this one, perhaps except Talat which is considerably more expensive.

Ah. My bad. I didn't review them I was just paying more attention to the op asking for a list of open source ones.

can you share them? I'm looking for a decent open source one

I went through the list but most feel subpar to me, and some aren't even open source (just claim they use FluidAudio I guess?)

I don't see how this is different to literally the dozens of other offline transcription apps, many open source even unlike this one.

I don't mind https://matthartman.github.io/ghost-pepper/ however I do really want speaker recognition which it does have but I haven't been able to get it working.

Nice! I really like how many variations on this idea are coming out. MacWhisper used to be great, but is kinda of a buggy mess now. I'm making my own, for personal use. I did a survey of many and they all (that I could find) skip the fundamentals. The major issues that I've run into: - Crash recovery. Most of these apps are incredibly buggy and crash all the time, taking the recorded audio with them. Macwhisper is in…

I’m using MacParakeet these days. If your language is supported, definitely give it a try. It’s much faster and lower footprint

Classic HN. Thanks for keeping it real.

There are so many I've seen on show HN, that's why.

This looks sick. I was going to download it but for $10 I am more willing to attempt asking Claude to implement something like it, than to purchase.

I would be more willing to purchase if it was open source and I could build from source to try it first.

Literally so many when searched: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=macOS+transcription

Add "open source" if you wish as well.

It's kinda funny how frontier LLMs change the game when it comes to software. If it becomes so good to make whatever little utility you want, why would I pay 10 dollars when an AI subscription is 20 bucks and I can build way more in a month for that $20? Especially since it's very likely people on show HN have simply used AI anyway, so why would I pay for your prompts?
