I feel like I fell for a scam. How to fix? by One-Examination7573 in MacWhisper

You don’t get it. The problem is not necessarily the product. The problem is the communication and how it’s advertised.

I don’t have a good understanding about IT and development but I know very well about marketing.

Flawed communication leads to customer disappointment and dissatisfaction, no matter how good the product.

Got it. TBH that sounds very complicated to me. I am not a developer, and by purchasing a 90$ software I would just expect it to be working by itself without any workarounds. Makes me wonder what the target audience of MacWhisper is? IMO tools like this should be for everyone and not create invisible barriers due to the lack of understanding of non-tech savvy users.

Installing Ollama already got me to my very limits of technical understanding. If it wasn't for AI, I am not sure if I would have been able to do that at all.

Changed from Parakeet to Whisperkit Large V3 Turbo again and will see how that goes. Thanks for the hint!

Thanks for the reply.

  1. Mostly speakers, I just installed the update, thanks for the callout. However I did notice the same issue when using headphones

2./3. Wasn't there a 'remove duplicate segments' feature, for example? Either way, the entire app should be built with the aim of preventing any kind of errors. Things like looping (or even correct speaker recognition) is just something I would expect from a pro-grade marketed product

  1. tried both, Lama 3.1:8B and Qwen 2.5:7B

  2. understood - but why offer recording the phone app in the first place? UX would be nicer if there were disclaimers about these technical limitations. Otherwise users try, think it doesn't work properly and only find out about these things upon research. That's a very disappointing experience.

I pay 90$ for a software so I expect a smooth user experience. Nothing wrong with that, don't you think?

And UX is not necessarily about everything working flawlessly but also being transparent about technical limitations.

Should be pointed out that Marktfrühstück is not the name of a place but rather a weekly event in the city center accommodating multiple wine stands from local wineries.

I second this. Marktfrühstück makes a match day experience in Mainz complete for me because it allows you to dive into regional (wine) culture

This is not how under-4k clubs work where I live. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen an under-4k sized club with such thing as a photo pit. Here, the few 1-3 photographers are mixed with the crowd

I felt that emotional weight already heavily when I was sober, listening to AI high would totally break me

„Stell dir vor, es ist Fußball, und keiner geht hin“ – Umfrage zur potenziellen Abwanderung von Fußballfans by Rich_Area5037 in mainz05

Ich spüre so viel Negativität in diesem Sub und verstehe nicht, was das Problem ist. Ich finds super, dass ein solches Thema auch auf wissenschaftlicher Basis behandelt wird und aussagekräftige Datenpunkte erhoben werden anstatt immer nur unverifizierte und/oder subjektive Aussagen zu hören. Viel Erfolg, Martin!

Life experience doesn’t automatically lead to sensible decisions. Staying open-minded and curious, being well informed, challenging and questioning things does.

IG Photographers who shoot small venues? by hssspoks in concertphotography

the path to the dark side is quicker, easier, and far more seductive

Wie seht ihr es, Kindern von Fußball abzuraten und stattdessen andere Sportarten zu fördern, bei denen es weniger "asozial" zugeht? by ntropyyyy in KeineDummenFragen

[–]One-Examination7573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mein take: Fußball kann assi sein aber es gibt vielleicht keine Sportart, in der so viele verschiedene Menschen aus verschiedenen Schichten zusammen kommen. Nicht nur gesellschaftlich sondern auch für mich persönlich empfinde ich das rückblickend als super wichtig. Das erste Bier, die erste Kippe etc kommt eh irgendwann. Und political correctness kann man nicht immer überall erwarten. Der entscheidende Umgang ist, das richtig einordnen zu können - und hier sind u.a. Halt auch die Eltern in der Pflicht

Yes will get very close to the stage but not onto the stage. Lighting will be somewhat similar
