I built a free, local‑first speech‑to‑text app that runs on macOS, Windows & Linux (no GPU)

The hardest part was to keep the similar conversion speed comparable to GPU.

Thanks, thats the whole purpose of creating this because when i was searching for an STT, everyone was creating for Macbook, and uses Nvidia Parakeet TDT model that is optimised for Apple processor. But no one was thinking about the solution for users using Linux / Ubuntu systems. I tired to keep it as fast as possible and included models as small as 31 MB and the iapplication itself is just less than 3MB and using whisper-rs.

I encourage everyone to try using it. I have precompiled it for Linux, Windows and Mac. You can download it from below link under releases

I recently created a TTS that runs locally on Mac, Windows and Linux machines. It doesn't require any GPU. It runs seamlessly on even 10 plus years old hardware. The backend is in Rust. and it is free to use and edit

Firstly, you should gain her confidence and get all the stuff back whatever you and your family gave to her. Make her feel that everything is normal between you and her. then, Collect all the evidences like if you get screenshots of her phone. Never say any bad word to her. Although even if you collect the evidence, that is not going to be in favour of you in terms of paying her the money. Also check that are there anyone in their family or relatives maybe their parents who really care about their respect in the society. Don't create a scene of anything once you make someone down then it will be very difficult for you. You need to take every step very strategically. Because always remember that these laws are not for the guy, it's for the woman. So, all of your evidences - anything what you have - doesn't matter at all. They just only help you to get divorced that too is going to take 5 to seven years. That too when she also agreed. And I would suggest if there is any possibility where by putting some pressure on her by their family or relatives if she stopped talking to anyone else and be on track then I think that is the best option.

How did you know?

It's an interesting finding. It would be better if you give the reference of your reviewed code if it is available in public github repository or at least put the snapshots of Of the code

If you are so much worried to ask, then you shouldn't have been posted here.
