Was searching for this this morning and settled on https://handy.computer/

There's also an offline-running software called VoiceInk for macos. No need for groq or external AI.

Since many are asking about apps with simillar capabilities I’m very happy with MacWhisper. Has Parakeet, near instant transcription of my lengthy monologues. All local.

Edit: Ah but Parakeet I think isn’t available for free. But very worthwhile single purchase app nonetheless!

Is it possible to customise the key binding? Most of these services let you customise the binding, and also support toggle for push-to-talk mode.

Is there a tool that preserves the audio? I want both, the transcript and the audio.

Sounds like there's plenty of interest in those kind of tools. I'm not a huge fun API transcriptions given great local models.

I build https://github.com/bwarzecha/Axii to keep EVERYTHING locally and be fully open source - can be easily used at any company. No data send anywhere.

Does anyone know of an effective alternative for Android?

Nice! I vibe coded the same this weekend but for OpenAI however less polished https://github.com/sonu27/voicebardictate

Could you make it use Parakeet? That's an offline model that runs very quickly even without a GPU, so you could get much lower latency than using an API.

MacOS only. May this help you skip a click.
