My current fav STT is Hex, MacOS only:

Near-instant accurate-enough transcription using local Parakeet V3.

Handy is multi-platform, also great:

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.
