Re: Handy – Free open source speech-to-text app
#22A question because I'm not using speech-to-text, but find it intriguing (especially since it's now possible to do locally and for free). How have your computing habits changed as a result of having this? When do you typically use this instead of typing on the keyboard?
I use it all the time with coding agents, especially if I'm running multiple terminals. It's way faster to talk than type. The only problem is that it looks awkward if there are others around.

#23Would be nice if the output can be piped directly into Claude Code.

Interesting. I can think and type faster, but not talk. I am not much of a talker.

#25There's a slightly awkward naming overlap with an existing product.

Part of my job is to give feedback to people using Word Comments. Using STT, it's been a breeze. The time saving really is great. Thing is, I only do this when working at home with no one around. So really only when WFH.

#27On a M4 Macbook Air, there was enough lag to make it unusable for me. I hit the shortcut and start speaking but there was always a 1-2sec delay before it would actually start transcribing even if the icon was displayed.

#28There's a slightly awkward naming overlap with an existing product.
Which one? I did a quick search but that didn't turn up anything so perhaps it's a partial word overlap or something. I did find the projects "user-facing" home page [1] which was nice. I found it rather hard to find a link from that to the code on GitHub, which was surprising. [1]: https://handy.computer/
There's also a sex toy
