Dictation app from macOS based on whisper.

[foges]

I broke my arm over the weekend and was looking for a dictation app for Mac OS that was better than the built-in one. I didn't really find one I figured I'd build my own based on whisper. Have a look, would love your feedback. https://github.com/foges/whisper-dictation

https://superwhisper.com looks like a great app!

Cool project. I find changing settings via terminal to be a little intimidating. FYI, betterdictation.com runs locally on M1+ macs and isn't a monthly subscription.

Any alternatives that will support an intel mac? SuperWhisper looks cool, but I'm not on silicon yet

Thank you for this tool. Is the AI model running MLX?

Could this app use an AI model that runs with MLX?

Could these models work?

How does one confirm that this app is running an AI model on the GPU or CPU?

How do we go about implementing real-time features?

Does this app do some sort of voice isolation AI work during or after each recording?

Does this app understand context?

Would it be better if we used a voice isolation AI model before we passed the audio to the transcriber model?

Is there a language parameter on the transcribe function in the traditional OpenAI Whisper package?

We made a new version of this app that runs on MLX Whisper.
