I have been searching for a simple, audio file to text software that was accurate, actually worked (for some reason, of the 10 I tried, only one was able to upload my m4a files!). I was about to purchase an expensive online subscription service, though I may only need like 6 hours of transcription a month, but figured for 5 dollars, no free trial was totally worth it. MY GOD this is amazing. So simple, no fluff, but ACCURATE and FAST and OFFLINE! Wow!

It’s open-source, local-first, and most importantly, transparent with your data. Your data is stored locally on your device, and your audio goes directly from your machine to a local provider (Whisper C++, Speaches, etc.) or your chosen…
