> RIP to a lot of the paid apps that simply wrap Whisper
I started using a few open source apps for transcription and eventually subscribed to a paid one...
On paper, it's not hard to compete, but for this use case, a few rough edges make it really frustrating to use. Like a keyboard that sometimes doubles the letter "e"
Automatic dictionary, seamless language switch, no issues with accents, etc... Putting the effort in the last mile makes a world of difference.
If anyone has better options, I'm willing to have a look. The best open source solution I found was Handy, and I currently use Wispr Flow
