HeardRight
Free, Private, On-device dictation and voice commands.
What it does
Local-first desktop dictation with 100+ voice commands, on-device transcription in 25+ languages, file transcription, and optional AI polish.
Press the hotkey and talk. HeardRight transcribes offline and types into the field that had focus. Say a command and it acts: screenshot, switch window, open chrome. Your audio never leaves the device. Free is complete local dictation, not a countdown. Pro adds desktop actions, broader language control, long files & opt-in AI polish for one payment. Speed evidence: M1 Air, warm local Parakeet TDT. Hardware & selected AI provider affect total delivery time. Core dictation runs end to end on your device. No round trip to a HeardRight server. Paid for once. Running on your machine. No meter attached. That is what owning software means, and the dictation market sells the opposite three ways.…from heardright.app

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
