What it does VoiceScribe is a local macOS dictation app that lives in the menu bar. Use a global hotkey, speak, and it returns text to the app you are using. The app runs a simple on-device pipeline: 1. Record audio from anywhere on macOS 2. Transcribe with Whisper or Parakeet 3. Optionally clean the transcript with a Local LLM 4. Copy or paste the final result back into your active app 5. Save the original transcript and optional processed version together in history Features - Global hotkey recording with Option-Shift-Space - Local transcription with Whisper or Parakeet - Optional Local LLM cleanup for punctuation and formatting - Downloadable local models for each stage - History that keeps the original transcript and optional processed result - Copy or auto-paste of the final result - No cloud account or API key Screenshots Recording Workflow History Settings How it works Transcription VoiceScribe supports two local transcription engines: - Whisper - Fast — Small - Balanced — Distil Large v3 - Best — Large v3 - Parakeet - English — English v2 - Multilingual — Multilingual v3 Cleanup The optional cleanup pass runs locally with MLX-backed LLMs: - Local LLM - Fast — Qwen3 1.7B - Balanced — Llama 3.2 3B - Best — Qwen3 4B History History mirrors the pipeline directly: - If cleanup is disabled, history stores only the original transcript - If cleanup is enabled, history stores both the original and processed versions - The History window ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/eddmann","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/eddmann/VoiceScribe/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
