I've got a home-built dictation app that uses a local model to clear up the text and fix grammar. It was super easy to build. I’m extending it to capture meeting notes and summarise too. All on-device.

I saw a little app the other day, I think someone posted on here, that looks at your screenshot and renames the file based off the contents of the file.

There's tons of little examples like that. For a lot of use cases, you really don't need the frontier models.

That's a great user case. Am sorry using parakeet but sometimes it garbles up things. Can you open source it?
Mac only I'm afraid, but I already did [1]. Packaged it too as I figured it might be useful to others [2] (and I'd want to install it on machine's that I might not have Xcode on)

I spent the best part of a couple weeks making improvements and tidying up the UI, but to actually get something working was essentially only a couple of prompts.

Handy is open source and works flawlessly for me with Parakeet v3.
