About this product
Handy is a desktop dictation app. Press a shortcut, speak, and the app inserts the transcription into the active text field. You can hold the keys while speaking or use a shortcut to start and stop. This makes Handy useful for drafting messages, leaving notes, or entering text in apps that have no built-in dictation.
Download a speech model before relying on Handy offline. Then try a short message in the app where you write most often. Include a name, a number, and a sentence you would normally type. Check the pasted result before sending it. If you use a password manager or a terminal, choose a shortcut that does not conflict with either app.
The project repository lists desktop releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Transcription runs on the computer once the model is installed.
