Cypherpunk future is now.
I am vibing my own apps now, as is everyone I know. But there are some cool apps developed by others that you should definitely use. One of them is Offline Speech to Text (OSTT).

It is a keyboard and voice recognition service, that other apps can use (White Noise can use it by default for example, which I use a lot, since I interact with my agents using White Noise). If you are bilingual (send messages in multiple languages): Choose Canary V2 instead of default Parakeet, it will allow you to steer language detection. Go to model preferences after it downloads, set language to Automatic and under it choose "Languages I speak" (I set English and Slovak). This way the languages is detected and it won't try for example Czech, because it knows I speak either English or Slovak.

Fast, fully offline, your speech (or the text) never leaves your device. It is super high quality and fast.

Another pro-tip: For lower latency, increase number of threads to 4.
