If you write a lot, take notes, reply to messages, or simply want to give voice (literally) to your thoughts, this little widget is a game changer. Accurate and instant. No delays, no sending your data to external servers.
Harker has saved me a lot of time writing AI prompts and emails. It's become a useful part of my daily workflow.

The problem I notice with local AI / ML applications is they are processing pretty slow. Would be nice to see some benchmarks (not sure how to visualize that when benchmarking audio tho lol).
Nice launch tho, super nice product, was just recently looking for alternatives on subscription-based apps like Wispr Flow.

@mxmzb Totally fair. Local AI can feel slow depending on the setup and model size. Harker gives you the option to download and choose the model that best fits your machine, so you can get the right tradeoff between speed and accuracy.
For English-only models, even the smaller ones are surprisingly precise and very fast on M1 or M2. With no loading screens or cloud roundtrips.
Running everything locally also means no server costs, which lets me offer Harker as a one-time purchase.
No subscriptions, the app is yours to use.
Benchmarking audio is tricky to show, but I’m thinking about adding a simple demo or side-by-side soon.
Thanks for checking it out, and yes, it’s built as a simpler, privacy focused, and no-subscription alternative to more complex tools like Wispr Flow
@mxmzb @mnlcpc you might want to take down your PH page with the launch discount code if you're not going to honor it.... PH50OFF is EXPIRED.
So, you are using local/offline SLM?
Harker
@manu_goel2 yes, the speech to text model is embedded in the app.
@mnlcpc love it ... that's tech put to right use
Harker
Thank you @manu_goel2 , appreciate it
