I've been building a little app on the side that allows me to primarily read my books in epub, mobi or pdf -> text format but generate readouts on demand for only the bits I want (highlight, paragraph, page, chapter) so that I can continue while I'm on the go, without having to bifurcate between apps - this might already exist but I made mine

Naturally, I also added the ability to highlight, leave notes and ... ask questions (via API)

Even with incredible models, it's a decent amount of work to get this to work nicely

Error Error: No API found

but i love the idea

I bought it when it came out and enjoy using it. I have a STT keyboard powered by Parakeet that has a minimized mode ideal for phone terminals

Combine this with a nice shortcut keyboard and then you're really flying - my favorites are XP Pen and DOIO 16

Ack for dictations but Gemini voice is fun for interactive voice experiments -> https://hud.arach.dev/ honestly blown away by how much Gemini could assist with with basically no dev effort

https://github.com/goodroot/hyprwhspr have you tried this? I have a nice 64GB new linux machine waiting to be set up for me to kick the tires on this

pretty sure it's awesome - sorry OP about mentioning another project, we're all learning here :)

Hex is great and not trying to pull you away from them - would love to get your pov when you give these a spin next time. email or DM me

My M1 16GB Mini and M2 16GB Air both deliver insane local transcription performance without eating up much memory - I think the M line + Parakeet delivers insane local performance and you get privacy for free

I initially built Talkie to talk to it like a crazy person when I was on long runs and ideas would pop into my head haha

Been a power user of SuperWhisper and Wispr Flow for a long time and eventually decided to unify those flows - memos & dictations, everything is a file and local first, BYOK

Handy's great! I find the latency to be just a bit too much for my taste. Like half the people on this thread, built my own but with a bit more emphasis on speed

thanks man! I've actually gone a bit further with hooks and speech synthesis

https://hooked.arach.dev/ and https://speakeasy.arach.dev/ - it's a fun setup

nice, next step is to write a custom function that derives a useful but repeatable message from the hooks and put a little cache in front the Eleven Labs message gen. For example: "In {Project}, Claude needs your permission to run {command}"

That way you can stay comfortably in the free plan with awesome voice messages

I have a different voice for my laptop compared to my main computer and can also pick per project

> My personal favorite hooks though are these:

  "Stop": [
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "afplay -v 0.40 /System/Library/Sounds/Morse.aiff"
      }]}],
  "Notification": [
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "afplay -v 0.35 /System/Library/Sounds/Ping.aiff"
      }]}]

These are nice but it's even nicer when Claude is talking when it needs your attention

Easy to implement -> can talk to ElevenLabs or OpenAI and it's a pretty delightful experience

this probably levels the playing field for a while, and then dramatically raises the bar over a longer period of time

as better engineers and better designers get more leverage with lower nuisance in the form of meetings and other people, they will be able to build better software with a level of taste and sophistication that wouldn't make sense if you had to hand type everything

this feels like language from another era
