What is Handy STT?
A free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application that works completely offline.
Handy is a cross-platform desktop application built with Tauri (Rust + React/TypeScript) that provides simple, privacy-focused speech transcription. Press a shortcut, speak, and have your words appear in any text field—all without sending your voice to the cloud.
Why Handy?
Handy was created to fill the gap for a truly open source, extensible speech-to-text tool.
- Free: Accessibility tooling belongs in everyone's hands, not behind a paywall
- Open Source: Together we can build further. Extend Handy for yourself and contribute to something bigger
- Private: Your voice stays on your computer. Get transcriptions without sending audio to the cloud
- Simple: One tool, one job. Transcribe what you say and put it into a text box
Handy isn't trying to be the best speech-to-text app—it's trying to be the most forkable one.
Comments and Reviews
It's a good app, but need some touch how on this working offline implementation a bit better. And yeah you need to download a model before it can work and it doesn't show how much space needed in hard drive for model to work.
Done. I've finished looking for an STT app, or trying to vibe-code my own. This is it.
