Whistle speech-to-text

“It does very poorly in detecting Dutch vs. German for this Flemish-accented speaker.”

“Seems to do roughly as well as parakeet (both speed and quality) so far.”

“I find the quality of transcription quite poor with a high error rate.”

“trying to fit what it thinks it's heard into an actual sentence”

“responds within 1-2 seconds including 0.5 second waiting for silence as a trigger to start processing”

“So maybe don't rely on this for a faithful transcript of what was said.”

“it works great on Mac but lags on Windows”

“Open source, multi platform”

“Error rate is crazy high.”

“Ships with a RISC-V build. This is much appreciated!”

“Thanks for putting in the work. Only a matter of time before all of this runs locally at very high accuracy.”

“with that sample of one, it got it wrong”

“looks like my customized whistle works better for me than these alternatives”

“Works perfectly in Whistle, but not in iOS.”

“Great results getting whistle working so well for you!”

“the quality/accuracy is pretty "meh"”

“It's a shame there isn't as many languages supported though”

“unless you speak very loud, clear and slow is not that good”

“For something you could plausibly ship inside a webapp, it’s very good.”

“it seems to get stuck sometimes where it just outputs "Thank you." as a default”

“especially given the size and the fact that it runs on the CPU”

“This is actually a really great release. Congratulations team.”

“it can be fit into a l3 cache on a cpu and be essentially always on”

“Mexican and venezuelan aren't detected correctly”

“It transcribed multiple sentences I gave it with complex timing and words and in such a small footprint, I'm super impressed.”

“Those are insane benchmarks at this size.”

“Spanish is not good (seems to write non existing words and/or with terrible typos...) but English seem to work good”

“incredibly accurate I tried to break it and it understood me perfectly”

“Was a fun process keeping the offline and online functionality completely separate”

“Overall it's clean and modern (and the interactive table actually has content not pointless filler).”

“It's far from perfect but every step brings it a bit closer.”

“it's completely free so give it a go if you want”

“You have to have dedication and a goal to reach, but you can absolutely build anything if you're building with the right foundations in mind.”

“fully working piece of local software that does exactly what he wants”

“I'd much rather have something where I choose to record a meeting, process it locally”

“If you're looking for free STT you can use Whistle across Windows/Mac/Linux and Android”

“a free, completely offline transcription app that's available on all platforms with CUDA support”

“Probably my most "successful" one, at 450+ downloads on the Play store.”

“the transcription literally takes seconds for a minute of audio so it's not holding up your device”

“If you want to give the Linux version a shot, you can download it from here”
