Description

Handy is an open-source, free, cross-platform application for speech-to-text that operates entirely offline, allowing you to dictate directly into any text field. By pressing and holding a customizable keyboard shortcut, you can speak, and upon releasing it, Handy captures your voice, transcribes it on your device, and automatically inserts the text into the application you are currently using. The default setting utilizes a push-to-talk feature, but users also have the option to toggle between starting and stopping recording with different key presses. This software is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring that all voice data remains stored locally instead of being sent to external cloud services. Users can select from various Whisper models or Parakeet V3, with Whisper offering extensive multilingual capabilities for over 99 languages, while Parakeet V3 is fine-tuned for efficient CPU usage and automatic language identification. Additionally, Handy incorporates voice activity detection to filter out silence, and it can utilize GPU acceleration for Whisper on supported devices, enhancing the overall performance of the application. The combination of these features makes Handy a versatile tool for anyone needing reliable speech-to-text functionality without compromising privacy.

Description

Voice messages are automatically converted into text and audio formats, allowing for a seamless communication experience. With both text and audio available, users can eliminate the frustrations of needing to make corrections that often come with traditional mic-input methods. Additionally, push notifications help facilitate fluid exchanges, enhancing two-way conversations. You can keep your headphones in and phone tucked away in your pocket while still engaging with others! We are also advancing towards a fully conversational user interface, so keep an eye out for updates! Unlike typical "listen together" gatherings, this system enables real dialogue through advanced voice detection and automatic volume adjustments, making interactions more dynamic and engaging.
