https://handy.computer got good marks from a very nontechnical user in my life this week!

Local, FOSS

To save a click, it's just a fancy front end for Whisper plus a weaker CPU-only model. It has a demo video that seems impressive, but the speech is careful to sound casual while having no meaningful flaws that would cause it to mess up. If you want to make a speech to speech tool, which is what this post asks about, it would make more sense to go straight to Whisper.

		I use it, sponsor it, and did a small pr. One of its goals is to be the most “forkable” starting point if i recall. But yes its just voice input. It’s meaningfully better than the mac dictation for me.
