Great correction, wish I could edit the post! Updated the README to reflect this.

Thank you! And you’re right, I think Whisper struggles with younger voices. Haven’t tested Parakeet or other models for this yet, but that’s a great use case (especially since privacy matters in education). I would also shoutout Hypernote!

Not yet, but I want it too! Parakeet looks incredible (saw that leaderboard result). My current roadmap is: finish stabilizing whisper.cpp integration, then add Parakeet support. If anyone has bandwidth to PR the connector, I’d be thrilled

Great catch Aachen, I should have clarified this better. The app supports both external APIs (Groq, OpenAI, etc.), and more recently local transcription (via whisper.cpp, OWhisper, Speaches, etc.), which never leaves your device. Like Lefti

Yes, we currently support OpenAI/ElevenLabs/Deepgram APIs that all use non-Whisper models (presumedly) under the hood. Speaches also supports other models that are not Whisper. Hopefully adding Parakeet support later too!

Ahh that's unfortunate. This most likely is related to the rust `enigo` create, which we use to write text to the cursor. You can see the lines in question here: https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/blob&

Amazing, thanks for giving it a try! Let me know how it goes and feel free to message me any time :) happy to add any features that you miss from closed-source altneratives!

Hmm, we support prompts at both 1. the model level (the Whisper supports a "prompt" parameter that sometimes works) and 2. transformations level (inject the transcribed text into a prompt and get the output from an LLM model of yo

Thank you for checking it out! Coincidentally, it's on the way: https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/pull/661 In the middle of a huge release that sets up FFMPEG integration (OWhisper needs very spe

Hey HN, I couldn’t find an open-source alternative to Superwhisper, Wispr Flow, etc. that I liked, so I built my own. It’s free, cross-platform, runs locally or in the cloud with your own API key, and works via system-wide hotkey or voice-a
