This reminds me very much in terms of features as https://github.com/cjpais/Handy https://handy.computer , what's the use case for this over that?

Big fan of Handy. It's simple, offers all the models with a great picker and the author is involved in building a general STT model runtime. It does streaming flawlessly with Nemotron, which mind-bogglingly many apps don't offer.

I checked out the alternatives mentioned in this thread and they appear more over-loaded, "sloppy" and commercial. Handy just does the thing without extras.

I recently switched to Voiceink which also does similar. I'm trying to find the edge this has over that but can't find it

I recently switched from Handy to Fluidvoice, and like it much better. The UI is much better and offers a better and more comprehensive feature set in comparison.

They both use parakeet so I guess they would perform similar.
