Utter

An ultra-minimal, offline speech-to-text status bar utility for MacOS.

Press a hotkey, speak, automatically paste the transcription into the active app.

Features

• Define a hotkey (either a modifier key + character or single modifier key)
• Last three transcriptions stored just in case. Can be copied or cleared from menu
• Offline**, Local, and private
• English-only for now

** On first time use the app will download the Parakeet speech models from Hugging Face.

Setup

• The app will request accessibility permissions in order to listen for a global hotkey. Restart the app after granting.
• Click the menu item hotkey field to register a hotkey.
• The app will request microphone permissions on first use.
• You'll need to manually add Utter to a Login Item if you'd like it to start on system startup.

Handcoded (mostly) with love :)
