BearFox Smart Dictation

What it does

BearFox turns your voice into clean, ready-to-use text - fully offline. Hold a hotkey, speak, and tidy text is pasted into whatever app you're in. Or pick an audio file and get a readable transcript. Your words never leave your PC; nothing is sent to the cloud. An optional AI pass removes filler words and false starts, and fixes punctuation. It even runs on locked-down office PCs with no admin rights. Free on the Microsoft Store.

BearFox Smart Dictation turns your voice into clean, well‑punctuated text - entirely on your own computer, and entirely offline.

Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, and BearFox types polished text straight into
the app you're working in — your email, a document, a chat box, anywhere you can
type. It tidies up as it goes: removing the "um"s and "er"s, fixing false starts&

  I'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.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
