Lipik
Lipik is a free open-source dictation app for Mac. Hold fn, talk, and let go to have clean text land in any app: filler words (ums) and self-corrections are removed, and spoken punctuation is converted into real punctuation. Both speech-to-text and the clean-up run locally on the Mac; on 106 English test clips, fully correct lines improved from 28% to 76% with clean-up on. Hinglish (Hindi + English in Roman letters) support is in progress, currently getting 7 of 20 test lines fully right.
