@niplav I was positively buoyed the other day by the fact that the speech-to-text AI (I think it was OpenAI) I used recognized the name "Brian Tomasik". Windows Voice Access, however, spells it as "Thomasik".
@rime what do you use speech-to-tex for?
@niplav Writing with it is much faster than writing with my keyboard. The annoying part of it is that it spells things right. It makes things long.
My Task-Manager / Time-Tracker / Note-Taker / Schedule-Keeper / Context-Shower / Thing-Framework-Setup is very much incomplete, so at the moment uh I can say "new task" to iterate Toggl Track, or "new note" for simple notepad (usefwl eg at night), but far from all that I want with it.
Voice commands are very convenient, but hard to get used to.
@niplav Whisper (and others) is adequate for speech-recognition, especially if you're just aiming to use it for dictation and not have too thick of an accent.
It probably gets German accent (or whatever you have) better than Norwegian accent, though!
I haven't tested these:
