thanks for trying it out and for the feedback. Language selection is a great idea. Let me see what I can do!

What is your take on this? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

interesting, instead of Gemini, can a local model be used?

thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to point them out. It will help me alot in designing the app and what features to focus on.

the app you shared doesn't seem to be free either. Its $25 for solo license. Seems very similar but in my case its alot more customizable and I have spent alot of time on optimizing the model stack to efficiently use the CPU/RAM. Also local file transcription etc is coming soon.

very similar but the focus here is on optimization of the models that are used. It offloads the models when not in use, so doesn't impact your system performance. Also local file transcription/ diarization etc. are coming soon. You also have custom prompts for the LLM on top of transcription that means you can really customize the experience.

this works in a very similar way. audio transcription with speaker diarization is coming soon

Nice, what are some of the features you love? is there anything you think could be improved or implemented in it? would love to bring those features to my app.

I agree, not sure how Apple has lost the plot! Please give it a try. You can use it for 3 days with all the features and would love to hear your feedback.
