- Set up a simple keyboard shortcut that activates speech-to-text in any text field, whether you're writing emails, documents, or filling out web forms
- Keep your voice data completely private since Handy processes everything locally on your machine instead of sending audio to external servers
- Use the same speech-to-text tool across Windows, Mac, and Linux without learning different interfaces or buying platform-specific software
