Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, press it, talk, press it again, and the text gets pasted into whatever field you were in. Everything runs locally and never leaves your computer. Fully OSS and MIT licensed. With macOS 26, Apple recently added two new APIs, SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber, that do streaming on-device speech to text using models the OS ships and manages.

It's an iOS app focused on making flashcard studying hands-free & efficient. Like Anki, but entirely spoken. You choose a list to practice, the app reads the prompt out loud (e.g. "What charge does a proton have?"), & you respond by voice. YapCards uses AI to evaluate your response & provide feedback.
