My current fav STT is Hex, MacOS only:https://github.com/kitlangton/Hex
Near-instant accurate-enough transcription using local Parakeet V3.
Handy is multi-platform, also great:
https://github.com/cjpais/Handy
Every time a new STT model or app is announced, I see if it displaces Hex for me but so far none have.
I’ll check out Yap though.

Have you tried FluidVoice? Comes close to those 2 imo.I’m tracking them all here:

Nice collection! Do you know if any of those can do meeting transcription with turn detection with consistent speaker ID ? Otter killers in other words.by d4rkp4ttern

I love on-device transcription apps, but this looks like yet another AI generated whisper wrapper. I'm put off by the readme which is clearly LLM generated, with emdash all over the place and bits that smell of user questions turned into talking points.> Why not the Fn / key? It's the obvious one-finger choice, but on macOS the Fn key emits no real keypress — only a hidden hardware flag — so
And
> macOS permissions (read this if the hotkey "does nothing")
Sorry but I can't see a reason to use this over something tried and tested like Handy, which is free, open source, on-device, does post capture correction and isn't limited to whisper (you can use parakeet v3 which I find way better than whisper)
