What it does
Fast offline voice dictation for Mac. Hold a key, speak, and punctuated text appears in any app in about half a second. 30 languages, no account.
Hold a key, speak, let go. Punctuated text appears in whatever app your cursor is in — in about half a second, in 30 languages. Recognition runs on your own machine, with no internet needed. The model sits in memory on your Mac, so there’s no upload, no queue, and no round trip. That’s the whole reason it feels instant — and the reason it works the same on a plane as it does at your desk. Mac mini M1, from letting go of the key to the text appearing. The same in every one of the 30 languages: measured on identical audio they land within a hundredth of a second of each other. Commas, periods, and question marks appear on their own, in the right places. You talk the way you talk. The text…from dictami.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
