I have little white specks swimming around in my tank and crawling on the glass what are they ?

Ostracods, they're good bois who are a sign of a healthy tank

Difficult to tell with that photo. What else is in the tank?

It might be copepods. If so, they're harmless and nutritious!*

*For fish. Probably not worth eating them yourself...

Betta probably snacks on them between feedings, they're great live fish food.
