OK, this is great. Just found an #iOS equivalent of #MacWhisper and it’s free. Not sure if it always is, but it certainly is right now.
It’s #Accessible and works well with #VoiceOver.

What's Mac Whisper?

😀 Uhhh, at the risk of going in circles, what is it that this app does that Mac Whisper also does?

@rooktallon Transcribes speech to text better than Siri or Google likely ever will. Can export that to subtitles for youtube videos etc. Click the link and you can read about it for yourself. Easier than me trying to explain it.

Can I just tell you how much I love how specific I have to be every time I ask you a question? I don't know if it's a British thing but I like it.

@bryansmart Read their practices I guess, you're likely used to such things. I already paid for MacWhisper so won't be using this too often, but it's there.

@bryansmart No, this is just transcription. I want to be more inclusive, so started using #MacWhisper for my youtube videos, so it's great for me.

There's a medium model that's half the size and almost as accurate in English, so I wish it supported that. Otherwise, this looks really useful. I have a shortcut that sends audio files to the Whisper API but that isn't free, and it's obviously not as private. Thanks for this.
