@dremnik mellon runs parakeet tdt v3, one-time payment no subscription. local, offline. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@sardo_adam @noahlisk also worth checking out mellon if you want something free and fully local. runs on the neural engine, no cloud, no subscription. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@abhishek095 @WillowVoiceAI mellon runs everything locally on your mac. no data leaves the device, no cloud processing at all. also free. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@g48in mellon handles french and english with auto language detection, 25 languages total. runs locally on your mac so no cloud dependency. also just added nvidia's parakeet model which is way faster than whisper. free too. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

shipped parakeet tdt in mellon. 10x faster than whisper on apple silicon. transcription is instant now, feels way more natural to just talk. 25 languages, runs on the neural engine. free, local. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@0xKoller mellon does the same thing but runs locally on your mac. no cloud, no subscription, works offline. also has AI commands for proofreading and per-app style matching. completely free. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@shrys_s we just shipped a parakeet model update that handles accuracy way better. mellon runs locally on your mac so no server-side quality drops. free too. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@BryanECano @WisprFlow not just you, their backend went down today too. if you want something that doesn't depend on their servers, mellon runs whisper locally on your mac. no cloud, no outages. free too. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@wesbos been building mellon for exactly this. local whisper on mac, works offline, phonetic corrections so it learns your vocab and stops getting names wrong. completely free. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@bilawalsidhu mellon comes pretty close. local whisper on mac, no cloud needed. has phonetic corrections that learn your vocab over time and AI commands for proofreading. free too. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@tejasmanohar if you like wispr you might also dig mellon. same idea but runs local and its free. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@CCArchitectures nice stats. if you ever want to try something fully offline, mellon does the same thing but free and runs locally on your mac. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@stevewesthoek @FedericoNoemie Nice\! If you ever want to try something similar that's completely free and runs locally on your Mac, check out Mellon (https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR). Same speed boost, zero subscription.

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@toddsaunders honestly you might not even need a new keyboard. I use mellon for voice to text and barely touch mine anymore. runs locally on mac, completely free. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@gabrieljkeller love this. if you want to save the $15/mo though check out mellon, does the same thing but runs fully local and its free. also has AI commands to proofread your dictation on the fly. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@sanchitmonga22 running whisper locally on mac, apple's coreml optimized version so it uses the neural engine instead of gpu. keeps everything on device, no network calls at all. for diarization adding pyannote on top of that.

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

implementing diarization in mellon rn. once this ships there is ZERO reason to use any other mac transcription app. if you're paying for it you're getting SCAMMED.

FREE FOREVER. why? i want to completely dominate this space. name a feature i don't have. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@yura_env nice, if you want something with more features check out mellon too. also free, also local, but has AI commands like proofread and simplify, per-app style matching, and diarization coming soon. https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@thomascwkwan @LinkedIn for coding dictation I have been building Mellon, it has AI agent commands so you can proofread or simplify your dictation right after speaking. runs locally on Mac, free at https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR

[Xavier Poon @xavpoon]

@naman_desu @tankots @WisprFlow if you are looking at Wispr, you might also wanna try Mellon. runs fully offline so nothing leaves your machine, plus it does per-app style matching which Wispr doesn't do. free at https://t.co/S2azkx1MqR
