How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist CAMB.AI when holding multilingual meetings where participants speak different languages and need live voice interpretation matters most, and Handy when privacy-sensitive voice-to-text where audio must stay on-device matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Handy is a free, open-source, cross-platform push-to-talk app that transcribes your speech to text completely offline and pastes it into any text field.
CAMB.AI is an AI voice synthesis, speech translation, and localization platform built on its proprietary MARS (text-to-speech) and BOLI (translation) models, supporting 150+ languages. While much of its product line targets media, sports, and entertainment dubbing through its Studio platform, its Chatterbox desktop application is aimed at live communication: it delivers real-time, bi-directional voice translation so participants speaking different languages can converse in multilingual meetings and customer-support calls. Chatterbox runs as a desktop app on Windows and Mac, translating spoken audio in both directions while aiming to preserve the speaker's voice and tone. The broader platform also offers text-to-speech, captions and subtitles, transcription, and translation features, accessible via a web-based Studio interface and a developer API/SDK (including integrations such as Google Cloud Vertex AI and LangChain). It is suited to globally distributed teams, support organizations, and media companies that need to break language barriers in real-time spoken interactions rather than traditional same-language note-taking.
Best suited for
Handy is a free, open-source desktop application that turns your voice into text completely offline, with no audio ever leaving your computer. You press a configurable keyboard shortcut, speak, and release (push-to-talk), or use a toggle mode to start and stop; Handy transcribes what you said and automatically pastes the result into whatever text field is active. Because it runs entirely on-device, it is built for privacy-conscious users who want dictation without cloud uploads or subscriptions. Under the hood it is built with Tauri (a Rust backend with a React/TypeScript frontend) and supports multiple local speech-recognition models, including OpenAI's Whisper variants with GPU acceleration and the CPU-friendly Parakeet V3 model with automatic language detection. Silero Voice Activity Detection filters out silence so only speech is processed. Handy runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux, and is released under the MIT license. It positions itself as an accessible, extensible alternative to paid dictation tools, and is best suited for hands-free typing rather than recording multi-party meetings.
