I’ve been using Speech Note (github link) for months, but it often gets things wildly wrong.

I thought it was my mic, so I got one that’s crystal clear. I also tried a ton of different models, and other than being slow (or fast), their accuracy is usually pretty similar.

But I’m still needing to take a lot of time to edit the results, and I wonder if there’s something I should be doing to get better results.

On other speech-to-text platforms (like Futo keyboard on Android), the results are fast and very accurate. I have a hard time believing that Speech Note can’t be as good.

Can any other users share their experience?

    It’s using my Nvidia GPU to do the LLM thing, so that may be the difference.

    This could be!

    Interestingly enough, I was playing around with LLama, as they have speech to text to interact with their chat bot, and it converts in near real-time with very good accuracy. So I do know that things can be fast and accurate, but I wish it was in Speech Note. LOL

    For now, I may just to STT through my phone on a shared document with my laptop.
