  5. 5

    Hey HN, I built superwhisper out of frustration with the native dictation capabilities of macOS. Inaccurate, required manual punctuation, didnt activate in some contexts or would have audio capture issues. I wanted a replacement that worked offline, had cross language support, was configurable and worked in any application. Under the hood the app is using whisper.cpp, which runs really well on the Apple Silicon chips. You can use the base and standard size models for free, larger models sizes and languages other than english are paid. Let me know what you think! For context, I launched this…

    Heynds▲125

    Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…

    I wanted a voice-to-text app but didn't trust any of the proprietary ones with my privacy. So I decided to see if I could vibe code it with 0 macOS app & Swift experience. It uses a local binary of whisper.cpp (a fast implementation of OpenAI's Whisper voice-to-text model in C++). Github: https://github.com/richardwu/openwhisper I also decided to take this as an opportunity to compare 3 agentic coding harnesses: Cursor w/ Opus 4.6: - Best one-shot UI by far - Didn't get permissioning correct - Had issues making the "Cancel recording" hotkey being turned on all the…
