required pinned ggml patch & OMP,SIMD,etc. tweaks to make all models efficient, this work meshes well with other builds been doing with all-way sherpa onnx etc.
After seeing so many *subscription based* transcription apps all wrapping *open source models*, finding Handy was a real delight and I'm happy to see the author keep on building!
Right now it only supports languages supported by parakeet-rs and Nemotron (so... English only as far as I'm aware) and you'll need the ONNX version of Nemotron: https://huggingface.co/altunenes/parakeet-rs/tree/main/nemot...
The first run experience isn't great, you'll need to download all the files from the model, start the app, and then go to settings and configure the model directory. It runs well on Mac and Windows; I haven't tested it on Linux in a couple of months since my Linux install is out of commission currently.
I mean, I naturally should try myself, and plan to do so, but slightly lower on my free time priority list and I figured someone else might have explored this already.
Nemotron Streaming
Parakeet Unified
Voxtral Mini Realtime
If something you want is not supported, open an issue on transcribe.cpp!
Still, you can pry Handy from my cold dead hands-y either way. So useful.
I maintain this list of all the best open-source ones in this awesome-style GitHub repo. People looking for open-source dictation tools, hope you find something that works for you here:
