It's been a while since I did a little roundup of cool #Linux apps and utilities, so here is a selection of 16 tools I either use, or plan on using, or can just recommend:
@thelinuxEXP I really like Speech Note! It's a fantastic tool for quick and local voice transcription in multiple languages, created by @mkiol
It's incredibly handy for capturing thoughts on the go, conducting interviews, or making voice memos without worrying about language barriers. The app uses strictly locally running LLMs, and its ease of use makes it a standout choice for anyone needing offline transcription services.
I primarily use #WhisperAI for transcription and Piper for voice, but many other models are available as well.
Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy 2nd ed. by Michael H. Thaut & Volker Hömberg
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) is a form of music therapy developed for people suffering from cognitive, sensory, or motor dysfunctions - arising from neurological diseases of the nervous system.
People who can benefit from this therapy include sufferers from: stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's disease, autism, and other neurological diseases affecting cognition, movement, and communication (e.g., MS, Muscular Dystrophy, etc). The Handbook of Neurologic Music Therapy is a comprehensive landmark text presenting a new and revolutionary model of music in rehabilitation, therapy and medicine that is scientifically validated and clinically tested. It presents a field that is practiced by over 4000 NMT certified clinicians in over 70 countries. In this second edition, the book is fully updated and revised with new research updates in the field and extends the original clinical chapter content.
