Really nice!

For OsX there is also the great VoiceInk which is similar and open-source https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk/

Awesome, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! Cool to see another open source project that has different implementations :) much to learn with their Parakeet implementation!
