Pretty sure I saw Handy using it; if you have the latest version, you’re probably already demoing it.

author of the blogpost is the maintainer of Handy, so almost guaranteed!
Yep the latest version has support! Virtually all of the SOTA open models are supported by Handy including the streaming ones like

Nemotron Streaming

Parakeet Unified

Voxtral Mini Realtime

If something you want is not supported, open an issue on transcribe.cpp!

I installed it but I don't think I see the streaming transcriptions. I do think the transcription is a bit faster. I am using the latest version.
You have to change the model to one that supports streaming. The latest parakeet does. I've been using it the last week or so. It's good stuff :)
I tried nemotron but the zero punctuation was a no go. I also used unified but didn’t see streaming. That said, I had to disable direct input because my shortcut for handy includes a ctrl-, so direct causes menu and shortcut activations at lightning speed, so I am only getting output when recording stops.

Still, you can pry Handy from my cold dead hands-y either way. So useful.
