    I built a voice dictation app for macOS mostly because I was tired of how awful Siri is and I didn't want to pay a subscription for cloud tools. The app uses NVIDIA's Parakeet v3 (TDT) as the primary engine. Inference is handled by the FluidAudio library. It's insanely fast on M-series chips. For Intel users, I added local Whisper support ranging from Tiny up to Large v3 Turbo (quantized to save space). The interesting part was the AI integration. I originally tried to pipeline the ASR output into Apple's Intelligence Foundation Model. It was a nightmare, because the content moderation…

    Hey HN, My 6-year-old was getting frustrated trying to get ChatGPT to tell him stories, so I built Leoline. AI voice assistants today aren't designed for kids - they interrupt too early, use complex language, and struggle to tell long, engaging stories. Leoline fixes that.
