## Caption

I cancelled WhisperFlow and paid exactly zero dollars.

1) Most speech-to-text apps cap you at 2,000 words a week on the free plan. That's barely one workday. Here are the three free tools I replaced it with:

2) Typeless — Looks and feels like the paid apps. Free plan gives you 8,000 words a week. Four times more, for nothing.

3) OpenWhisper — The best all-rounder. 2,000 free words, API connection for more power, and downloadable local models so it runs completely offline.

Handy — Full open-source control. Runs offline, lets you pick your own transcription engine, and connects to any API for AI cleanup after.

My actual setup: one hotkey for Typeless when I need AI to polish the text, one hotkey for OpenWhisper's local model when I want offline speed. Two hotkeys. Three tools. No subscription.

Save this before you pay for another month you don't need to.
