Handy, free open source speech-to-text
The official link, read before the post: we haven't tested it ourselves.
- According to its README it runs offline on your computer: check that before you dictate anything private.
- It's open source: download it only from the official GitHub repo, not from mirrors.
- Read the README for the license and the systems it supports before installing.
What we saw: Handy is a free, open source speech-to-text app. You press a shortcut, talk, and the text lands in any app. According to its README, it all runs offline on your computer. We haven't installed it yet. This is what the project says, not a verdict from us. Source: github.com/cjpais/Handy
