For anyone here who likes keeping things on their own hardware: we built FU Flow, a dictation app that runs Whisper on your own PC.
Press right Alt, speak, press it again, and the text is typed into whatever app you are in. After setup it works offline. No account, no subscription, unlimited words.
Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu 22.04+ (.deb or AppImage), MIT licensed.
Which Whisper model size do people here run locally?
