I actually just did something similar with whisper.cpp, and hooked it up to GPT-3 Davinci-3 via the API, and then the answer piped via Microsoft's text to speech. The mic I'm using is a cheap USB omni-mic designed for conference calls.

Does whisper model support real time transcription?

  whisper.cpp is an open source project that has a feature to turn whisper into a real time transcription program, it works surprisingly well by feeding small segments of audio into whisper. take a look at their GitHub page!

    You're right, and it also is apparently optimised for m1.

How long has it been running? Have you figured out anything to use it for beyond what other assistants can do yet? I'm very curious as I had the same idea but don't have time to implement...

  A few hours... It is constantly listening. In terms of what other assistance can't do, it can integrate w/ my desktop computer in a way that other assistance can't easily do. The M$ voices take things to another level. Apple has better quality voices for Siri on desktop, but they don't let you access them through the 'say' command.

where do you have whisper.cpp running? would be cool to have that linked to an app or shortcut on your phone

  I have it running on my M1 Mac. I picked up a few minis with frequent flyer points and have started to use them in places where I'd use a Rasberry Pi, and as a gateway for my RAID. I'm tickled by the idea of a modern version of Stephen's personal infrastructure[0].
