What is Speech Note?
Note taking and reading with Speech to Text and Text to Speech
Speech Note enables you to take and read notes with your voice. It uses Speech to Text and Text to Speech conversions to do so. All voice processing is entirely done off-line, locally on your computer, without the use of a network connection. Your privacy is always respected. No data is sent to the Internet.
Available for both Linux desktop and Sailfish OS app
Speech Note uses many different free processing engines to do its job
Language models can be downloaded directly from the app.
Text to speech can be exported to file in WAV format
Comments and Reviews
This is bar-none the best open source Text to Speech and Speech To Text app for Linux in mid-2025. Supports MP3 output, some of the best open source models available, and the developer is incredible.
The only thing worth getting disappointed about is that open-source speech models haven't caught up to pricey "premium" models like NaturalReader via API. I'm not paying and I also don't want my stuff going to a cloud server. Hoping the recent updates with Voxtral speech model will advance open-source speech tools here soon.
The accuracy of the transcription from speech to text depends on the language model you choose. I received good results with Whisper Large-v3. The speed is acceptable.
Works offline, which is important to me, as I don’t want my stuff stored on a third-party server.
