The owner didn't write this. This repo never submitted itself. The Cap'm found it on a truffle trawl and wrote its paperwork from what GitHub already shows. Picked by hand by the Cap'm on 2026-09-14: System-wide offline voice dictation for macOS. Built with Claude, powered by Whisper.cpp.; its own README says "Built with Claude, powered by Whisper". 2 stars; MIT license. The owner did not submit this. Votes count; awards don't until the owner claims it.

I'm not calling your project slop! Geeze, it's a joke... Do you own this repo?

Log in with GitHub as zyuapp. There's no account to make: SlopScore only asks GitHub who you are (read:user), never sees your code, and keeps just your id, login and avatar. Then you can:

  • Keep it, on your terms. Commit your own slopscore.md (spec) and press Refresh. Your paperwork replaces the Cap'm's, and you can submit it for Slop of the Day.
  • Take it down. One click on Remove. It stays gone; the trawl never brings it back.

The Cap'm's log

The Cap'm wrote this paperwork, not the owner. This repo never submitted itself to SlopScore. The Cap'm picked it by hand: System-wide offline voice dictation for macOS. Built with Claude, powered by Whisper.cpp.; its own README says "Built with Claude, powered by Whisper". It carries the MIT license. The disclosures above are his best guess from what GitHub shows.

JustSpeak

Built with Claude Code - AI-assisted development from concept to completion. 🤖

A lightweight macOS menu bar app for fully offline voice dictation. Hold your recording shortcut, speak, and your words appear at your cursor.

Features

  • Offline Transcription - Core speech-to-text runs locally with Parakeet on Apple’s Neural Engine
  • System-Wide - Works in any application where you can type
  • Customizable Shortcut - Hold Right Command by default, or record your preferred shortcut
  • Cancel Anytime - Press Escape while holding to cancel recording
  • Private - Audio and transcription stay on your Mac
  • Accurate - Powered by NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2 model
  • Native macOS - Built with Swift, optimized for Apple Silicon

Requirements

  • macOS 14.6 or later
  • Apple Silicon
  • Microphone access permission

Installation

Download Pre-built App

Install with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask zyuapp/tap/just-speak

Or download the latest DMG from the GitHub Releases page and drag Just Speak to Applications. The same signed and notarized DMG is used for Sparkle updates.

Build from Source

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/zyuapp/just-speak.git
cd just-speak

# Build with local development signing
make build

# Install an OTA-disabled Just Speak Dev build in /Applications
make install

The Makefile installs /Applications/Just Speak Dev.app with the com.zyu.just-speak.dev bundle identifier, leaving the production app intact. It uses an available Apple signing certificate from the local Keychain so the dev app's microphone and Accessibility grants survive rebuilds. If no suitable certificate is available, the build safely uses ad-hoc signing and warns that macOS may request those permissions again.

Local builds are release-optimized but disable production OTA checks and are not notarized. Tagged public releases retain com.zyu.just-speak, enable OTA, and are signed, notarized, and published by GitHub Actions.

Usage

  1. First Launch - Grant microphone permission and wait for the Parakeet model download
  2. Record - Hold Right Command by default and speak
  3. Transcribe - Release the shortcut to stop and auto-paste
  4. Cancel - Press Escape while recording to abort
  5. Customize - Choose Change Shortcut… from the menu bar app
  6. Update - Download and restart into new versions from the menu bar

Tech Stack

  • SwiftUI + AppKit - Menu bar app with NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor
  • AVFoundation - Native audio recording (16kHz mono WAV)
  • FluidAudio + CoreML - Local Parakeet inference on Apple’s Neural Engine
  • Native Integration - Uses macOS microphone and accessibility APIs directly

Development

See CLAUDE.md for architecture details and development guidelines. Third-party attributions and license texts are bundled with the app under JustSpeak/ThirdPartyLicenses.
