We are finalizing an electron app as we speak. That will allow recording anything that runs on your own system

Will try to push a fix in the next few hours. We are instantiating the monaco editor with a custom font (Source Code Pro) before we're sure the font has loaded, which throws of the char box measurements in monaco. We did have a fix for this in the old (non-backend IDE), so I'll port that over ASAP. Thanks for notifying us :)

Right now, only js is supported out of the box, but I guess any language that can run via web assembly or other techniques could work. WebContainers has experimental python support, but it won't work with a lot of the dependencies you would usually utilize in python etc.

In my experience the accuracy is at least a bit better than whisper-small on their enhanced models. But we've just started using it so haven't had time to do many direct comparisons with whisper. Their word-timestamps are _much_ better, which is important if you want to be able to edit the audio based on the transcription.

As for speed I have no idea how they make it so fast, but I'm sure they've written about it somewhere. My guess is at least that they are slicing the audio and parallelising it. Will look into Conformer-1 as well!

Did you try their enhanced models? We're using it for relatively high-quality audio files and their accuracy is better than the whisper small.en model. More importantly, their word level timestamps is worlds better than whisper.

We've been researching different speech models at Scrimba, and went for Whisper on our own infrastructure. A few days ago I stumbled onto Deepgram, which blows whisper out of the water in terms of speed and accuracy (we need high precision word level timestamps). I thought their claim of being 80x faster than whisper had to be hyperbole, but it turned out to be true for us. Would recommend checking it out for anyone who need performant speech-to-text.

Everything rerenders from the root of the editor (that is - not the syntax highlighting of the code itself - as that is handled by monaco).

The ltree extension is fantastic if you have data like comments or any other hierarchical structure.
