You’re early and this is effectively a demo but just in case this is a blind spot: “token” is an in-the-weeds LLMism that means nothing in the context of transcription. Your costs may be measured in tokens but that’s not relevant to customers. Just “A free trial” with no quantifier would be better than 1k tokens.
This is awesome. Video talks about a Mac App. Where can I get that? Voice input did not work on Edge browser on Windows, btw.
We had to make a bunch of breaking API changes over the last week and the Mac app isn't ready to go on it quite yet, but we'll bring it back as soon as we can, max two weeks, hopefully sooner.
Are these your models or a wrapper around model apis?
The fusion model is similar to the architecture described here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.13289
I use voice-to-text in the workshop and when taking notes and reviewing a PR. And all the current options are pretty much what you would expect. More focused on accuracy, which is usually quite poor, which, to paraphrase, "It's Erin with an E. Oh for **s sake, Erin. ERIN! E. R. I. N. N. I said N. Eh-rin. Fine. Whatever." so anything that can improve on that experience will be immensely helpful.
Looking forward to seeing where you go with this, and I hope at some point you make a native desktop application.
Jiminy Crickets...
I have SOOO many use cases for your thing.
[edit: what does this mean: https://i.imgur.com/rHQt6ul.png when attempting to demo?]

* I want an agent that I can speak to on Mobile headset as I love to think out loud - and air my thoughts and thought process through talking through my internal dialogue - if this could just capture what I am saying and log it and I can refine thoughts as I go.
For example - I ride a lot. I try to cycle 1000 miles a month if I am doing a solid month - but else - I ride daily and its a movement meditation. as I ride - I think through things and I speak through thought processes with differing opposing 'experts' in my internal monologue to self-argue through to a solution....
If I could have this record all that, then random epipehnies I think through while on ride will be captured in a meaningful way.

* A meeting-notes-transcriber for whiteboard sessions.
* record everything you say in an interview and be able to review after for self-coaching
* talking through a dish as you wing the ingredients so that you speak out loud what you did (my grandmother was friends with Julia Child - my grandmother taught me to cook and when it came to measurements of things - they always wing it per feel/taste "salt to taste" for example means "eh... whatever"
so to be able to talk through what your 'winging it with' and it captures it into a salient reproducible recipe (i make a mean Chimi Churry (sometimes if I can recall)
* a voice "body cam" for things I may say in situations where I may be too flustered to recall.
* Speak authoring - start telling a story outline so it captures a synopsis that you can further develop
* Speech (like giving a speech) refinement as you can talk through the speech and capture and rework and reiterate etc
and thats just off the top of my head through your demo....
LOVE this.
This is really great. I was hoping someone would build this: https://bprp.xyz/__site/Looking+for+Collaborators/Better+Loc... I would really happily pay $10 / month for this, but what I really want is either: - A Raycast plugin or Desktop app that lets this interact with any editable text area in my environment - An API that I can pass existing text / context + audio stream to and get back a heartbeat of full document…
>Certainly - let me grok your text!!... OK - I am ready!
BLAH BLAH BLAH...
etc
The demo seemed to struggle a bit with my accent (Scottish), getting quite a few words wrong - for example, every time I said "test" it would write "taste". Is this something you can improve going forward?
A few things to try to maximize your accuracy right now are:
- Don't use AirPods, especially not AirPods Pro. Most built-in laptop mics or EarPods or a gaming headset are perfect. It doesn't need to be podcast quality.
- Correct transcription mistakes as you would a person, then "plow through" and often the error will be corrected as you complete the sentence.
