The demo video[1] shows the transcription starts before recording is stopped, but I couldn't recreate this with the actual app. The transcription would not show after a minute of recording, but it was all there once I hit stop.
Was this changed since the video was made? Or is there a setting?
Sorry about that — this feature is no longer available due to its cloud-based nature, but I plan to bring it back. The video was recorded before open-sourcing, so I’ll remove it to avoid confusion.
Update: Replaced the site video with a demo showing the actual app behavior.
I believe audio is normally processed on device but transcripts can be sent to apple.
Even apps like superwhisper I'm looking to ditch because during an update they swapped my local models to cloud models which is a crazy breach of trust.
WhisperClip is cool because it transcribes as you are recording. Most other tools I've tried wait for the recording to finish before any transcription starts.
Just now tried it. It's really good! I will keep using it more today to see if it performs well consistently.
I had a small issue while onboarding. The app asked for microphone access, which I granted. It showed the task was completed. But the blue Next button stayed grayed out. I forced quit the app and then it all worked out fine from that point onward.
