A free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application that works completely offline.

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

Cross-platform desktop app for offline speech-to-text: press a hotkey, speak, and the transcription is pasted into the active text field. Runs locally with Whisper or Parakeet, no cloud.

Useful for
  • Dictate text into any app without sending audio to the cloud
  • Trigger transcription via the --toggle-transcription CLI flag from a script or Raycast
  • Pick a Whisper or Parakeet model matching your hardware and language

2.9 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 29, 2026, 05:11 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0100200August 1, 2026October 29, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:05–05:01: 35011 → 35020 stars (+9). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +71 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • About 11 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 739. +43% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
