I tried it a week or so ago, it didn't really go well. Transcription was terrible, even though using the same model (whisper-large) on its own works well. The UI messages were trying to make it sound like a straightforward app, they should have been much more helpful as many things went wrong with a "try again later" type message. I also wish they'd bundled more functionality in the service, so the app could be a simple web front end that uses its API.
At a greater level, I've always wanted something like this, but we shouldn't be able to collect info on other people without their permission. The dangers of breaches or abuse are too great.
Since corporations are holding back the greatest benefits, we should be able to remember commercial works we've accessed, and collect and organize info on corporations, and some info on governments, but by their nature corporations will be better at getting the upper hand and the resulting attacks on government might not be for the better for society at large.
Yes, some parts of some governments conduct abuses which should be called out, but that is specific departments, other departments work to other principles, sometimes pushing back against the abuse. Otherwise comparing governments to business or computers is a downward spiral. This[1] is an interesting series on this topic.

- louis030195 2y agohey sorry about this, we improved voice activity detection since then, also you can use deepgram if you want higher quality
- vid 2y agoGood to hear you improved it. I just need it to be as good as standalone whisper-large. I certainly don't want to send all my conversations to a third party.
