Products that do what Local Transcription and Summarization of Voice Memos for iOS and Mac does

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share a small project I hacked together last night: a local tool to transcribe and summarize voice memos from the iOS and MacOS Voice Memos app. What does it do? It's a lifesaver for anyone who, like me, records loads of voice memos and needs an efficient way to integrate these recordings into their note-keeping system (like Obsidian). Why is this useful? - No Cloud Processing: Your voice memos are processed entirely on your device, ensuring privacy and security. - Integration with Note-taking Apps: Directly pull transcribed and summarized content into your…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, press it, talk, press it again, and the text gets pasted into whatever field you were in. Everything runs locally and never leaves your computer. Fully OSS and MIT licensed. With macOS 26, Apple recently added two new APIs, SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber, that do streaming on-device speech to text using models the OS ships and manages. So the app ships no model of its own and loads nothing before the first…
