Unlimited free Parakeet on iOS: VoiceInk

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voiceink-ai-dictation/id675143...

(I was searching the same as you before I found this last month)


I can't wait to try this. Finally time to get some more stuff out of spreadsheets. DBeaver is really powerful (and we're lucky to have it); that said, it (at least the default skin on macOS) doesn't have the aesthetic that makes me want to use it for personal projects.

Really appreciate the design from the screenshots.

Is it a few hero sponsors away from notarization, by the way? :)


Yes, I can do that. Personally, I'm not a fan of Apple (or Google) tax. But I understand why notarization helps the end user.

>helps the end user

I can't recall thinking much of it just a couple of short years ago...

Oh thank you! Yes, spinning up incredibly convincing projects is too cheap, and I'm uh changing my security posture or something like that. Mulling it over at least. (And of course: these comments are NOT at all specific to this project in particular! Speaking very generally here.)

Thanks :)


Had the same thought, I can suggest JetBrains Datagrip (paid software), works really well for me

I'm a long time user of JetBrains myself. The reason I made Tusk was:

* JetBrains does bloated Java instead of bloated Electron. Tusk is truly native to the OS.

* JetBrains does upsell higher tiers. Tusk does not. Especially won't offer an AI service in the tool that connects to your databases.

* DevTools should not distract the user. VS Code was an OG offender, but JetBrains too has too many notifications.

* Tusk is offline, doesn't connect back to a server for telemetry, updates, Ai, or anything else.


I'm not against using Tusk by any means, native apps can be a lot nicer. I love using Rapid API’s Paw over Postman every day.

But…

> * JetBrains does bloated Java instead of bloated Electron. Tusk is truly native to the OS.

The bloat in JetBrains is negligible comparedy to what it can do and its predecessor eclipse.h

> * JetBrains does upsell higher tiers. Tusk does not. Especially won't offer an AI service in the tool that connects to your databases.

I have never really seen this as an issue except when opening a new project and even then it’s small notifications.

> * Tusk is offline, doesn't connect back to a server for telemetry, updates, Ai, or anything else.

This is probably true but JetBrains is not totally unusable offline.

I wouldn’t completely dismiss JetBrains but everyone has their preferences for whatever suits them better.


> "The bloat in JetBrains is negligible comparedy to what it can do and its predecessor eclipse.h"

Yes. It depends what you compare it with.

> "I have never really seen this as an issue except when opening a new project and even then it’s small notifications."

Tend to agree with you — but I still find it unacceptable to receive notification "ads" for upsells or plugins in a devtool.

I prefer zero-distractions in devtools, and this was the case mostly for a very long time.

> "This is probably true but JetBrains is not totally unusable offline."

Good point.

Not dismissing JetBrains — I was a happy paying customer for over a decade. :)

They're struggling to keep up with a rapidly evolving devtools market.

Thankfully, I / Tusk has no commercial obligations — so I can make it exactly to my liking and taste.


Rough. Thanks for sharing that.

I want to talk about the semantics here, but I'm distracted:

>You could have left after a few days.

Veering towards victim blaming territory there. Also was the FAQ about progress payments added to the OP site after you commented earlier?


Have an opposition to the 7 distributal cents of the Spotify subscription going to a lab instead of Taylor.

(Assuming the lab didn't license anything fairly.)


Very nice. Two great features I'd suggest highlighting in two apps, one app of which you have listed.

1: livestream transcript directly into the cursor in real time (just like native macOS dictation)

2: show realtime transcript live in an overlay (still has to paste when done, unlike #1, but can still read live while dictating)

1- localvoxtral, 2- FluidVoice (bumping it to 7 features on your list)


Thank you, I have added localvoxtral[0] and fixed FluidVoice

0. https://github.com/T0mSIlver/localvoxtral


Awesome, thanks. Now it looks like five features are table stakes and there's no need to filter for, for example, speech to text. So, it would be interesting to see the differentiation, the why would I choose which one.

I see promise trying to get a bit more into curating by showing the top one or two or three picks for a given standout feature.


If Satya predicted someone would map their frustration with his company['s naming] out like this, is there anything he could have done to prevent the embarrassment?

I see how excited the executives would get about one single interface for computing all locked behind the subscription. The article makes Microsoft look stupid. It's tough to believe they're doing it the best way. Was this really a necessary intermediate step? And haven't they burned the brand a good bit…

And apparently when the writing was on the wall however many months ago after they had 20 or 30 different copilots, they believed the best decision to be doubling down.


Stupidity and avarice, despite being unsatisfying answers, are sometimes the correct ones.

This! The most cogent and concise explanation I've heard for something this!!

This comment brought me a bit of that satisfaction instead, thanks :)

Quick cry for help, please someone help me cancel a stupid Office 365 subscription on an old credit card where the number changed and no longer have access to the email - their website possibly intentionally sucks considering the hours I’ve spent on this

It's called Microsoft 365 Copilot now. Maybe that will help.

Surely easier to cancel the card, no?

Anything I can read that would settle the debate?
