Hey all! I created TalkNotes few weeks ago and it started getting traction in hours. It quickly went from 0 -> $700 revenue with One time payment and I decided to remove the one time payment, the line went straight down but since then it rising little by little and has now reached $150 MRR. I'm stoked since this is one of my best projects. The idea is to speak freely into a microphone about anything on your mind—meetings, emails, tasks—and let AI help organize it all. It turns your thoughts into a structured to-do list, notes, flashcards, and more. I created it because spending 15 minutes…

I originally added this to my site to speed up my video editing process. Last year I started a youtube channel and for some of my longer videos it's annoying to rely on youtube or capcut to transcribe when Whisper is open source. Capcut also recently updated their T&Cs to say they own your content if you use their app, so I cancelled my subscription. Another use-case I have is recording my claude prompts as audio, transcribing them, and then pasting them into my terminal. I mostly work on the CLI (claude, ffmpeg, whisper), but I wanted to make a browser version. Not reinventing the wheel…

Hi HN — I'm Emerik, maker of *Talkie Spendy*, a mobile app that logs expenses by voice instead of typing. I kept abandoning budgeting tools because manual entry felt like homework, so I built something that records a purchase in under five seconds. *How it works:* tap once, say “4 dollars 50 coffee at Starbucks.” Audio is sent to the ElevenLabs speech-to-text API for transcription, then a lightweight OpenAI prompt extracts amount, merchant and category. Only that JSON (with the original timezone) syncs to Supabase. Everything’s built in FlutterFlow, with instant charts and CSV export.…

Hey HN, we're building Hyper: an iOS voice recorder for the conversations that matter too much to pause and take notes. 1:1s with your cofounder, coffee chats, standups, whiteboard sessions. One tap to record, and when you're done you get a summary, full transcript, and tappable action items (calendar events, reminders, email drafts) — no notes needed. We built this because at our last company (a robotics startup), the most consequential decisions happened spontaneously — in hallways, over lunch, on walks. None of it got captured. Every recorder we tried was built for scheduled Zoom calls…

I built Whispering because I believe transcription is too fundamental a tool to be locked behind paywalls. It's a cross-platform desktop and web transcription app that turns speech into text with a keyboard shortcut, among other things. The app lets you bring your own API key (OpenAI, Groq, etc.) and make direct calls. If you want complete privacy, it also supports local transcription. Either way, your audio never goes through any middleman servers. It's super lightweight (~22MB), built with Svelte 5 and Tauri, and works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I've been using it daily for the past few…

I was laid off recently and, instead of looking for another job right away, I decided to build something I always wanted: a transcription tool that respects user privacy. Existing transcription tools often require internet connectivity, send your private audio to cloud servers, or lock you into monthly subscriptions. I wanted something different—so I built WhisperBuddy, a privacy-first AI transcription app that runs entirely on your machine. WhisperBuddy uses OpenAI’s Whisper model (see: https://github.com/openai/whisper). While the model may not always deliver the…
