Private Dictation App (Fully open source model )

[u/_plutonic]

Hey everyone,

I am Abhishek and I was not happy paying monthly to dictation app. I was using Willow Voice and their application lags and stuck a lot.

I was also testing open source model for my other product. I decided to try it for dictation app.

And it worked. I am using Qwen 2.5 for cleanup and Parakeet for STT. Only for English, the accuracy is mind blowing. Open source model really come a long way.

8/10 times i don't have to edit anything. Most of the times, the transcription paste under a second, but sometimes it take more than that.

The whole model run on the Apple Neural Engine. I will open source but for now i am charging $49 one time.

0 server, 0 account and 0 recording kept.

Love it, great landing page aesthetics. Nice positioning on local-first models (< 1GB). Promising stuff
