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

Please add wordbird as well: https://github.com/tillahoffmann/wordbird

It has all the usual features, plus you can add project specific vocabulary in your repo. It detects the working folder based on the active window, reads a WORDBIRD.md file in that folder and corrects terms accordingly.

(My friend Till built it)

Handy with parakeet is pretty awesome by the way!

  • Agree. Slept on.

    Wish they would do an ios version, but the creator already kind of dismissed it.

    • I just don't have the bandwidth to run another project, maintaining Handy is hard enough on it's own, especially for free!

      I didn't just dismiss for no reason, I am a human! I have needs and I can't just sleeplessly stay in front of the computer putting out code. If I had more time I would, but alas.

      Someone could easily vibe code an iOS version in a few hours. I could do the same but I do not have time to support it.

Very nice. Two great features I'd suggest highlighting in two apps, one app of which you have listed.

1: livestream transcript directly into the cursor in real time (just like native macOS dictation)

2: show realtime transcript live in an overlay (still has to paste when done, unlike #1, but can still read live while dictating)

1- localvoxtral, 2- FluidVoice (bumping it to 7 features on your list)

Do any of the apps support taking actions as you talk without having to hit stop?

Like telling it to edit the text or remove a word.

The filters selection seems to return a union not an intersection which is a bit confusing, at least to me.

So... a vibe slop index to keep track of all the vibe slop apps?

The cherry on top: it’s completely broken! Enable the Context Awareness filter, the list shrinks. Now enable the Auto-pasting filter, the list grows back.
