yup kinda of

i used handy a year ago, i think it was my first voice dictation app trial.

the reason it is bad, it's a 150-200mb binary i remembered downloading, it was not accurate for my accent, was missing lot of words, i tried wisprflow and it was accurate, the dx was top notch and i was a annual plan subscriber, but i think they are cost cutting on inference and all of the features which i mentioned got severely degraded.

this was the main motivation to build betterwispr, again this is my personal opinion, i was just thinking out loud. really sorry that people get offended in general.

i will be really honest with you i use to think the same, typing is slow when you are in a flow state, i have 80 wpm speed, but since i started using voice dictation apps my productivity increased, clarity of thought and everything in general made more sense.

yeah sadly you will need to use whisper model there.

this is a cool usecase will add it in backlog

macos 14

openwhispr dx is really bad, i made this product because i was tired that no one is working on accuracy and dx in general.

betterwispr main goal is to have accuracy and best dx possible.

just in case here is the repo: https://github.com/opennookorg/betterwispr

do star it on gh if you liked it!

i do liked fluidvoice, can't compete with them honestly but do give it a try

no it's a really old and bad stt model i am using parakeet v3 here which is way superior

ooh thanks so much man, if you face any issues do open a thread on github.

https://github.com/opennookorg/betterwispr

also do star it helps.

i have fixed this problem in betterwispr btw ;)

agree with your point, but wisprflow has been degraded recently and i wanted a solution which is free and works basically

parakeet v3 betterwispr uses that.

yup this is what i have been focusing on.

you can try the notetaking feature which i have build

handy is bloat and really bad dx in general.

this product is just 14mb binary.

nope it isn't trademarked actually

sure will do

yeah you can do try this out, it's really smooth and has good native macos ux in general.

it's just a 14 mb file so no bloat as well.
