- What it is
- The README of the Handy repository on its main branch, covering installation, permissions, models and the manual model install for restricted networks. Handy is a free, open-source speech-to-text app for Windows, macOS and Linux.
- How much weight it carries
- Maintained by the project itself, so it is the developer's own account of the app. It states what the app does and how to install it, but it does not describe a third-party security audit.
Facts taken from this source
- Handy's README says that on a restricted network, where Handy cannot download models automatically, you can download the model files yourself and install them.
“where Handy cannot download models automatically, you can manually download and install them.” (Manual Model Installation (For Proxy Users or Network Restrictions))
