Comment on Handy – Free open source speech-to-text app

Comments

It’s incredibly fast on my MacBook m1 air and more accurate that the native speech to text.

The ui is well thought out, just the right amount of setting for my usage.

Incredible !

Btw, do you know what « discharging the model » does ? It’s set to never by default, tried to check if it has an impact on ram or cpu but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

the model is permanently loaded into ram for access speed. discharging it would unload it from ram and lead to longer start times

It does unload it, and actually might be a good default for most people as the model loading does happen in the background as soon as you hit the key
