Open Source TypeScript Speech to Text Software

Handy is a free, open-source, offline speech-to-text application built for privacy, accessibility, and extensibility. Developed using Tauri (Rust + React/TypeScript), it runs natively across Windows, macOS, and Linux while performing local speech recognition without sending any audio to cloud servers. Handy allows users to start transcription instantly using a configurable keyboard shortcut—press to record, release to transcribe—and automatically pastes the resulting text into any active text field. Its backend leverages OpenAI’s Whisper models for GPU-accelerated speech recognition and Parakeet V3 for efficient CPU-only transcription with automatic language detection. To further refine accuracy and responsiveness, Handy integrates Silero’s Voice Activity Detection (VAD) for silence filtering, ensuring only speech segments are processed.

Vibe is an open-source project by thewh1teagle designed to deliver a collaborative and interactive social application experience, though its specifics depend on its evolving community scope; its development often focuses on connecting users through dynamic features that can include chat, shared spaces, and immersive interactions. The repository typically includes backend logic, frontend integration, and real-time communication stacks to support live user engagement, performance optimizations, and modular features that adapt to social workflows. Because open-source social platforms benefit from transparency and community contribution, Vibe’s codebase allows developers to experiment with new social features, customize existing components, and build integrations with popular services for authentication, media sharing, and notifications. Projects like Vibe often emphasize scalability, responsive design, and extensibility so that communities of users can grow without major rewrites.
