why use whisper over parakeet? how will you monetise?

Whisper is more lightweight and smaller. We will support Parakeet in the near future too.

Monetization:

For individuals: We have a Pro license implemented in our app. Some non-essential features like custom templates or multi-turn chat are gated behind a paid license. (A custom STT model will also be included soon.) There's still no sign-up required. We use keygen.sh to generate offline-verifiable license keys. Currently, it's priced at $179/year.

For business: If they want to self-host some kind of admin server with integrations, access control, and SSO, we plan to sell a business license.

another free tier (but not opensource) recording tool Ive been using is MacWhisper. Does this and more all locally too. Will try hyprnote out because its neat to do the transcription in real time and its note taking purposes

I’ve been thinking about ways to reuse Vercel’s AI SDK, so this is a great one - thanks for sharing!

Also you might find this interesting: https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/main/packages/util... .

Super neat! You’ve made an impressive amount of cool specialized crates - have you considered making them generally usable to the wider community and licensing them under LGPL/MIT instead of GPL?

This is really cool! I've been using Obsidian more and more as a second brain and getting data in has consistently been the point of failure, so I've been wanting something just like this. Specifically something that runs locally and offline.

Is the future goal of Hyprnote specifically meeting notes and leaning into features around meeting notes, or more general note taking and recall features?

What model? All the realtime transcription services I've seen are Whisper wrappers or custom closed source ones.

At least for near future, we'll focusing on meeting notepad side of a thing.

We actually have "export to Obsidian". I think you can pair Hyprnote nicely with Obsidian.

You need this plugin installed in Obsidian first: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api

It's custom model. (whisper variant)
