Our first focus is desktop, but we'd love to get a mobile app out (or let someone else build one with our API)

#13Non-sandboxed macOS app, every single time! :D
I imagine virtual microphones are not covered by standard permissions under sandboxing.

#14Hey, this is very cool! I just tried to make something alike for Windows yesterday for talking in French (Bonjour le Québec). After a few hours fidgeting with Whisper, I ended up finding https://github.com/SakiRinn/LiveCaptions-Translator , but it does not have the virtual microphone feature. Do you plan to support Windows any time soon?

#17Just need to polish the solution... I experienced some crashes with zoom.
I am the IDEAL user, willing to pay a lot if this works. Count on me feedbacks.
So far:
good: - initial config as good, easy and very simple to feel secure
bad: - high cpu usage - zoom asked me to restart mic - could not make sure if the software works... Google meet has not voice testing loop... Zoom has it, but it did not work for me.

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fun idea, are you thinking about a language learning use case?
That's also just a plain accesibility - levelling the situation where someone is less fluent in a given language. You could even translate from english to simple english!
Interesting. It's the oral version of "rewrite this paragraph to be understandable by someone with a 5th grade education".
Wild to think about.

If you forget to pay your bill, you can still use it but your voice turns into that of a pathetic loser
