Haven’t seen this one, but I settled on this offline-running one: https://github.com/hoomanaskari/mac-dictate-anywhere

+1, my experience improved quite a bit when I switched to the parakeet model, they should definitely use that as the default.

came to recommend voiceink too: https://tryvoiceink.com/
just bought the one-time licence. this is the future of AI pricing - local models and one-time fee.

My favorite too. I use the parakeet model
I used to use VoiceInk, but I found Spokenly [0] to be easier to use for post-processing the output, and more stable overall (local version with Parakeet or whisper is free).
