Show HN: BetterWispr – Free, open-source dictation for Mac

4 hours ago (betterwispr.com)

The native / built-in API SpeechAnalyzer (introduced last generation on iOS and MacOS) works quite well.

Are folks finding it lacking / needing alternatives?

This reminds me very much in terms of features as https://github.com/cjpais/Handy https://handy.computer , what's the use case for this over that?

  • I recently switched to Voiceink which also does similar. I'm trying to find the edge this has over that but can't find it

    • VoiceInk took a little time compiling but it's been working flawlessly for the three people that use it now for dictating consultation notes.

  • They both use parakeet so I guess they would perform similar.

    • How good is parakeet (assuming it’s Sota oss) compared to wisprflow? Wisprflow is magical ime

    • ye parakeet redux has been my new fav, that and tdt v2 both working well for my own clone app that was made.

This is pretty neat, I built something similar a couple months ago. I'd say try to support Windows or Linux next.
