My current fav STT is Hex, MacOS only: https://github.com/kitlangton/Hex https://github.com/kitlangton/Hex Near-instant accurate-enough transcription using local Parakeet V3. Handy is multi-platform, also great: https://github.com/cjpais/Handy https://github.com/cjpais/Handy Every time a new STT model or app is announced, I see if it displaces Hex for me but so far none have. I’ll check out Yap though.

Have you tried FluidVoice? Comes close to those 2 imo. I’m tracking them all here: https://opensource.builders/alternatives/superwhisper https://opensource.builders/alternatives/superwhisper

  If this is your website, I would recommend an actually noticeable button to go to the repo, it took me a good minute to find the little icon lol.

    Thanks for the feedback haha I’ll add it to the navbar so it’s easy to find for others.

  Nice collection! Do you know if any of those can do meeting transcription with turn detection with consistent speaker ID ? Otter killers in other words.

    I actually found this one today and will be adding it to Opensource Builders soon. It seems to be an open-source Otter alternative: https://github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meetily https://github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meetily

  Nice website, but would be great if you could include filters for which operating systems these apps support.

    Yes I think adding it as a feature for each project shouldn't be too hard.

I use handy and it does the job very well, is there a difference with hex or any other transcription app if we are using the same underlying model? Or just UI/UX stuff?

  When I tried handy a few months ago the transcription had stuttering issues, and I later discovered Hex and it was even faster and did not have those issues, so I stuck with it. This was with the same underlying Parakeet model, I think the differences are in the surrounding engine and post processing etc.
