Looks interesting. Why does it need a GUI at all?
It doesn’t! Just makes it more accessible to more people I feel. There’s a cli version for Mac which I wrote first handy-cli
Ah, that was a typo: you meant "GPU" (Graphics Processing Unit, not "GUI" which of course is Graphical User Interface) since that is listed in the system requirements. Explained implicitly by an existing comment, thanks!
I hear a CLI request? Tons of CLI speech-to-text tools by the way, really glad to see this. Excellent competitors (Superwhisper, MacWhisper, etc.) are closed/paid.
Because local AI models run well on a GPU, better than on a CPU
So more people can use it?
As an alternative to Wisprflow, Superwhisper and so on. It works really well compared to the commercial competitors but with a local model.
