i used handy a year ago, i think it was my first voice dictation app trial.

the reason it is bad, it's a 150-200mb binary i remembered downloading, it was not accurate for my accent, was missing lot of words, i tried wisprflow and it was accurate, the dx was top notch and i was a annual plan subscriber, but i think they are cost cutting on inference and all of the features which i mentioned got severely degraded.

this was the main motivation to build betterwispr, again this is my personal opinion, i was just thinking out loud. really sorry that people get offended in general.

i will be really honest with you i use to think the same, typing is slow when you are in a flow state, i have 80 wpm speed, but since i started using voice dictation apps my productivity increased, clarity of thought and everything in general made more sense.

openwhispr dx is really bad, i made this product because i was tired that no one is working on accuracy and dx in general.

betterwispr main goal is to have accuracy and best dx possible.
