What it does

Free, on-device dictation app for macOS. Press a key, talk, and your words paste at the cursor — local speech-to-text with Whisper, no cloud or subscription. An open-source Wispr Flow / superwhisper / Aqua Voice alternative that runs on older macOS (Ventura 13+). - ceosykes/rhema-voice

Free, on-device dictation for macOS. Press a key, talk, and your words land at the cursor — speech-to-text that runs entirely on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no subscription. A lightweight, open-source alternative to Wispr Flow, superwhisper, and Aqua Voice — and one of the few that still runs on older macOS (Ventura 13+). Rhema Voice lives in your menu bar. Tap the Right Option key, say what you mean, tap it again, and the text is pasted wherever your cursor is — an email, a note, a browser field, your editor. Transcription happens locally with faster-whisper , so your voice never leaves the machine. It does one thing and does it well. There's no model zoo, no settings maze, no login.…from github.com

    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.
