just tested it and it works great on windows 11. setup was easy, and the transcription was almost perfect all the way through. there was only one mistake where it repeated a line at the end. really impressed. thanks!

I couldn't get it to work. Transcriptions end with this: failed to send load_model request to sona after 3 attempts

works as it should. On MacOs a nice free alternative, I have no reservations

Would have been an enthusiastic five star review after Vibe accurately transcribed a common English name from a New Zealand accent.

Hilariously, tho, when the same interview source spelled out the same name, Vibe ignored its own accuracy and decided that Len would become Lynn, and Salmon would become, um, a word that sounds a lot like seamen.

So yeah, kiwi accents can be difficult to follow for AI (and humans), and yes, sure mine may be a minority experience.

But two stars off to indicate - use with caution - especially for those outside AI accent norms.

I use this for dictating even longer texts. It understands my accent well, and the result requires very little editing.

this is not an alternative to whisper, it uses whisper in the backend

so you're saying this open-source app uses a closed-source backend?

The service prioritizes user privacy by offering fully offline transcription, ensuring that no data ever leaves the user's device. The user-friendly design allows for seamless transcribing of audio and video files, with the added functionality of batch transcribing multiple files at once.
