Handy

Handy is a cross-platform desktop application that transcribes speech to text entirely on your computer without sending audio to the cloud. Press a configurable keyboard shortcut, speak, and your words appear in any text field. It uses Whisper or Parakeet V3 models for transcription and Silero for voice activity detection. Handy is designed for users who need accessible, private speech-to-text functionality without cloud dependencies or subscription costs. The application supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, with GPU acceleration available when supported.
