BYOK voice recording companion with ASR transcription, speaker diarization, AI summaries, and local ASR endpoint support.
Speech-to-text tools that run locally
Open speech models are now good enough for daily dictation, meeting notes and subtitles without sending audio to a cloud service. This collection covers desktop dictation apps you trigger with a shortcut and the engines underneath them.
Apps are the quickest to try; engines matter if you transcribe long recordings or need word-level timestamps and speaker labels. Speed depends heavily on your hardware and the model size you pick.

How this list is ranked
60% momentum, 40% health. Newcomers: created in the last 90 days with ≥ 20 stars this week.
How the score is computed
- Health (0–100) reflects release cadence, recent commit activity and the number of active contributors.
- Momentum (0–100) is stars gained in 30 days ÷ √(stars before), scaled within this collection, so a small project growing fast can outrank a large one.
- Newcomers are listed only in their own block, so a repo never appears twice.
- Members come from matching rules (GitHub topics, keywords in the description and README) plus a short hand-kept include and exclude list. The ranking is recomputed every hour from public GitHub activity.
