Hey everyone, I recently built a lightweight Chrome extension called AI Voice Note Taker that lets you dictate notes directly in your browser - no extra apps or downloads needed. What makes it different from others? 1. Real-Time Transcription with up to 98% accuracy (thanks to SpeechText.AI speech recognition technology) 2. Built-In Auto-Punctuation with On/Off Toggle Automatically adds periods and question marks as you speak - but you can turn it off with a single click if you prefer raw transcripts. 3. Note History with Auto-Save Every session is automatically saved and stored in a…

Dictatofree tier, from $20.82/mo▲93I built a macOS dictation app where everything runs on-device. Transcription, auto-correct, translation. No audio or text leaves your machine. It ships with 4 transcription engines you can swap between: WhisperKit (99 languages), NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B (25 European languages, fastest of the bunch), Qwen3-ASR 0.6B (30 languages), and Apple Speech on macOS 26+. They all run through CoreML/Metal. Whisper is the most versatile, Parakeet wins on raw latency for European languages, Qwen3 does better with CJK. I went with a protocol-based architecture so you pick the engine that fits your…

Codictate▲72I've built an AI dictation tool (like many others), but this time I have taken the time to benchmark all of the 34 models that we provide, so users can actually make a qualified choice on what model should be the daily driver. The best is that it's open source, so if you think we can improve something, please come and help out.

I vibe-coded a speech-to-text tool for Wayland that works for me. You trigger it with a keybind, speak into your mic, and it transcribes using OpenAI Whisper or Google STT (local is coming), then either types it directly into your active text field or saves it to the clipboard. It uses PipeWire for audio capture and works signal-driven, so there's no background process running. Just on-demand transcription when you need it. I've tested it on Niri and it should work on Hyprland, though I haven't tested GNOME or KDE yet. This was a one day Rust project and probably has some bugs since I just…
