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?

Big fan of Handy. It's simple, offers all the models with a great picker and the author is involved in building a general STT model runtime. It does streaming flawlessly with Nemotron, which mind-bogglingly many apps don't offer.

I checked out the alternatives mentioned in this thread and they appear more over-loaded, "sloppy" and commercial. Handy just does the thing without extras.

I recently switched from Handy to Fluidvoice, and like it much better. The UI is much better and offers a better and more comprehensive feature set in comparison.

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

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

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