Do you use it on a desktop? Mac by any chance? What's your setup?

I've been looking to find a simple and fast dictation app for English but almost everything I've tried (from Handy to many apps, eg some with Whisper in their names, after the model I assume) just don't work well. Apple's offering is worse than those though. I even tried with local enhancement models.

I am biased as a developer on the project but you should give Epilude [1] a go if you want local dictation on a Mac.

We’ve fine-tuned open-weight models to make them better (in our benchmarks) at cleaning up and formatting what you say so you don’t have to edit what you dictate.

You should give VoiceInk[1] a go. It works great and has decent latency.
