What is your tech stack to make this? Is it end to end swift?

Swift 37.0% C++ 26.5% C 19.8% Rust 4.7% Shell 4.4% Objective-C 1.7% Other 5.9%

What language do you have the model architecture and implementation in? Feel like it would be the biggest proportion of the codebase, curious if you did it in Swift?

App Store link no longer works. Willing to try/purchase but it's nowhere available. AppStore search doesn't return "Scriber Pro" either. Thanks.

FYI it works now because I just brought it up. The website mentions there were HN promo/discount codes, so I honestly expected the app to be like $20+, so color me shocked when it's $3.99.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

MacWhisper crashes at about an hour of context. This uses, smart, invisible regex in the text generation pipe. Makes this fast. + bonus, there is no context limit

I've done 3+hours with MacWhisper without issue? One downside is the transcription is not real time - can Scriber Pro do realtime?

I haven't worked in a while with transcription, but whisper.cpp itself (which I assume is the underlying tech behind MacWhisper) does realtime transcription on my MBP with an M1 Pro chip. When I first started writing my last completed novel, I fired it up and just started telling the story to test it out. Realtime.

That was back in 2023. I assume things work better now.

What languages does this support? Does it support switching between multiple languages in one video? For example, could it support a video that included spoken Latin, ancient Greek, German, and Italian?

So weird that this is nowhere stated on the website at all. Was literally the first and only thing I was interested in. So bad.
