Would be cool to get a wasm build that runs fully on browser

Are you having lawyers getting of MS Word. Ive tried in the past with no success.

But this is really cool. Its definitely a problem they have.

Any reason to not use flutter flow with all the AI stuff?

Is this opensource or just open eco system?

Damn how is the docker image only 4Mb. Even with the docker slim images they typically are atleast double digit. Nice!

I think people who realize its not about avoiding inconvenience but a tool that will make life significantly easier will kost likely pay.

Just like paying for a smartphone or data or broadband.

I've looked at the codebase. The ones I listed do a significant amount of audio processing to get better transcripts, avoid the "Thank you" issues with whisper large turbo, handle bluetooth and noisy environments.

Hopefully VoiceInk gets there. It is a neat project and really well done for a first time dev but rough around the edges. Careless is ~20$ and if you just need dictation is the best option.
