MacParakeet – Local voice dictation and transcription for Mac (GPL-3.0)

Hacker News

i mainly focused on just the things i need: - wisprflow-like UIUX for dictation - youtube transcription & export (it runs on parakeet so only english + european languages are supported) i'm sure there are many other apps already with much wider features (handy is a great example!), but in the spirit of mario (pi creator), "there are many voice transcription apps, but this one is mine."
