Interesting - this was actually a feature that got me to convert. I have some slight annoyances with how it handles natural pauses as I collect my thoughts and speak, but overall it's been great.

One fun thing I did with my family was have i…

Yeah, I wish there was an option to verbally cue that you were finished talking... like an "over and out" thing. Do you know about the feature where you can press the circle to force it to listen and then release for it to answer?

Sometimes it’s the opposite pro…

No, I mean the voice recognition in ChatGPT. > free except for the OpenAI API usage fees There are several versions of Whisper which have been distilled and can run locally, so I don’t see what advantage making API calls would be other than increased latency and decreased reliability and data security.

That's really interesting, Whisper is generally considered the current state of the art in STT and I've personally never experienced errors like the ones you describe. I've actually never had an error from Whisper. First question, is there another STT you have used which works better for you?
