Comment on Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to downloadparent

Comments

Ahh that makes sense, I was under the impression that OS dictation used exclusively on device models for dictation now but you're right - they do still send this data for transcription.

That definitely changes my take and I'm interested in trying this!

My initial assumption was that this was something I could invoke via CLI or within scripts to transcribe audio from files or user input using on-device models, which is something I would presently probably use Whisper for.

That would be a super trivial fork actually! You basically just need this file https://github.com/FrigadeHQ/yap/blob/main/Sources/Services/... and then wrap a cli around it :)
