CLUSTER OFFLINE-SPEECH-VOICE · 45 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-06-09

Offline voice dictation apps

This cluster consists of offline voice dictation apps that transcribe speech locally and insert text into the active application via hotkeys, with optional AI cleanup and a focus on privacy. The dated history before the index start is thin but shows entries in February, June, and July, with the most entries in June. Parakeet-dictation leads the cluster with 15 stars, followed by ukrainian-voice-typing with 10 and freehand-stt with 3.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
