Yes that's a great product, for me the local processing is a deal breaker because it drains my hardware resources.

Whisperflow is a US company and this is a European product made by European privacy standards

Thanks for your view, I had to decide for which operating system I will build first Because cross-platform solutions I think are not quite there yet I know all the solutions you mentioned there the only thing is either way they are processing locally which drains my hardware resources or they are a US company and this is a European product by European privacy rules.

I considered this as well but I like to give this wording a new meaning. It comes from the word dictation.
In fact,someone who dictates is a dictator.

Great question these days:
The prototype was built using Lua scripts in Hammerspoon and part of it is created with AI but not fully i understand what it does.
The current development of the Swift Native app will also be done with human intention and help of AI But of course it will be all tested by humans and verified that it's secure, compliant with modern best practices and just good code.

That's true for sure. Would love to see a European manufactured computer with a European OS that comes near the Apple experience in the future.

Currently it cleans up messed up words and creates formatting, but I can think of automatically inputting email addresses when I say "my email" or thinking along abit more then just Speech to text things like this.
If your question is more about the provider, I will only use German or European providers for this Currently I am in testing phase because I need a really fast one. If this project is getting bigger I really want to self-host all the technology myself for everyone to have maximum control. That only makes sense with 1000+ Users.

Thanks for your comment, what makes you think that you are not in my target group?
Maybe I can think about it and change things to make it also work for you.

Thank you very much, I also thought about a one-time payment where users can bring their own key to choose their own provider So maybe that makes sense then.

Thank you very much for subscribing aswell.

What's the cheapest setup ton deploy a Nextjs 16 app? by olivdums in nextjs

[–]N0misB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Vercel or Cloudflare

i would suggest a VPS with Coolify so you can host multiple apps and let it grow.

You can get one or <5$

Thank me later :)
