24 alternatives to SpeechOS – Wispr Flow-inspired voice input for any web app
Hi Hacker News! I’m David Huie. I’m launching SpeechOS, a drop-in voice input SDK for web apps. I was inspired by Wispr Flow and wanted the same workflow inside business apps (CRMs, docs, forms, support tools), not just a standalone tool. It’s saved me a massive amount of time vs typing. How it works: add a couple lines of JS plus an API key, and SpeechOS shows a small mic widget on every text field. Live demo: https://www.speechos.ai/ (Click a text box and the mic widget appears; click the gear icon to see settings, custom vocabulary, and snippet configuration.) Users can: -…

Hi HN, I'm a longtime web dev, but this is my first macOS app. Feedback is very welcome <3 I built TongueType because every dictation app I tried failed at least one of three things: it sent my audio to someone's cloud, it charged me monthly fee, or it felt clunky or enterprisy. The cloud thing kills it for anything sensitive. The subscription thing is insulting for what amounts to "Whisper + a hotkey." TongueType runs Whisper locally on Apple Silicon via CoreML. It's built to feel like a second keyboard: tap the hotkey, talk, let go, words appear. It sits in the menu bar (no dock icon, no…

Sayline▲83I 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…
