MacWhisper

I’m probably going to spring for MacWhisper Pro.

Quickly and easily transcribe audio files into text with OpenAI’s state-of-the-art transcription technology Whisper as well as Nvidia Parakeet. Whether you’re recording a meeting, lecture, or other important audio, MacWhisper quickly and accurately transcribes your audio files into text.

It got solid marks from Simon Willison. Vincent Warmerdam is only using the free version, but he’s got MacWhisper wired up to a programmatic keyboard. Both gentlemen have good taste in my eyes.

Initially, I’d use it like Warmerdam for agentic coding. If it can be CLI automated, it could become an essential part of the retrocast pipeline.
