I'm glad to hear you're better. I understand paying for something that works better, but I guess I'm still stuck in ye olden days where software was a one time purchase and if they really needed more money they'd release yearly major updates. And I'm not convinced that switching between a locally run whisper model and something proprietary in the cloud makes that much of a difference. Especially with the privacy concerns. Of course I could probably be convinced, but I don't want to.

It all ran locally, which was great. As new models came out I could download them. Guess they’ve chased the hype. Shame.
