Its open source GitHub repo at https://github.com/sveinbjornt/hear https://github.com/sveinbjornt/hear Man page at https://sveinbjorn.org/files/manpages/hear.1.html https://sveinbjorn.org/files/manpages/hear.1.html > (Uses built-in macOS capabilities for transcription from audio to text.) Question (to self, currently researching)... Which capabilities? Released when? I ask because Apple Intelligence has expanded the use of audio transcription features. Answer: `hear` uses SFSpeechRecognizer [1] which has been available since macOS 10.15. I'm not yet sure how it relates to Apple Intelligence transcription services. Note: "speech recognition is a network-based service" which perhaps suggests Apple Intelligence (the marketing term, not an Apple Developer term, I don't think) uses it as well [1][ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/speech/sfspeechrecognizer https://developer.apple.com/documentation/speech/sfspeechrec...

  I used Platypus to make my simple command line tools accessible to coworkers who considered the command line to be "too much" to learn. I've loved that app for close to two decades.
