SoftBestsHandyUnderrated
Free, open-source speech-to-text that pastes what you say into any app.
Best for
People who want on-device dictation without accounts, subscriptions, or sending audio to a server.
Why it deserves attention
Handy runs a local speech model, so pressing a shortcut, speaking, and releasing pastes transcribed text into the focused field. It is MIT-licensed, has 37,000 stars on GitHub, and ships builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux; models download locally and can be swapped. It is intentionally minimal, with no cloud account or team features. Accuracy and latency depend on the model and your hardware, and the project is still at a 0.x version.
