I found the UX of most speech-to-text apps unnecessarily complicated, so I built Humm as a simple, privacy-first alternative. Press a custom hotkey, talk, and the text lands in whatever app you're in. - It runs locally on NVIDIA's Parakeet models - no account and no telemetry - Works on Windows and Mac - You can bring your own key if you'd prefer to use cloud models - Includes a stats page so you can measure timed saved vs typing - Options to set zero local txt or audio retention Under the hood: - Tauri 2 - A modified parakeet.cpp doing realtime transcription, so you see your words as you speak (this feature is windows only for now) - Qwen3 4B for optional on-device cleanup (rather slow but working on making this better) |
