I'd love for you to try https://carelesswhisper.app
- Locally running, wrapper around whisper.cpp
- I've done a lot of work on noise profiling, stitching the segments. So when you are speaking for anything >2-3mins, its actually faster than cloud transcriptions. (Accuracy is a few WER off since they are quantized models).
- You can try without paying or putting in CC. After that ~19$ one time. No need to sign up or login.
- BYOK to use your groq, gemini free daily credits to rewrite. Support for thinking models too. can also plug into any locally running LLM.
- Works on my 1st gen M1 without a sweat.
How much do you pay on average for an hour of transcription?
