Hi HN, I wanted to share my first open-source project with you all: WhisperCat . WhisperCat is a small desktop application for recording audio and transcribing it using OpenAI's Whisper API. I built this because I needed something simple and reliable for my own transcription workflows, and now I'm hoping it might be useful to others as well. It's still pretty early stage, but it works well for basic audio recording and transcription tasks. What It Does: Lets you record audio with your preferred microphone. Transcribes audio files automatically via Whisper (OpenAI's transcription API).…

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…

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…
