Handy

Handy is a free, cross‑platform, open‑source speech‑to‑text application that runs locally on your computer. Activate it with a customizable keyboard shortcut, speak, and Handy transcribes your words in real time, pasting the text directly into the active field. It offers push‑to‑talk mode, offline privacy—your audio never leaves the device—and a simple settings menu. Ideal for accessibility, note‑taking, and developers who want an extensible, privacy‑first transcription tool.
