You can use it for everything. Just make sure that you have an input method set up on your computer and phone that allow you to use whisper.

That's how I'm writing this message to you.

Learning to use these speech-to-text systems will be a new kind of literacy.

I think pushing the transcription through language models is a fantastic way to deal with the complexity and frankly, disorganization of directly going from speech to text.

By doing this we can all basically type at 150-200 words a minute.

It would be really amazing if you could expand your workflow a little, especially how you have stitched everything together.

Neat. Can you explain your setup a little? How do you go from voice to whisper to writing in this reply input form on a webpage?

I'm a noob and not a dev either. Can you please explain how to set this all up?

If it matters, I managed to install Jan AI on my Linux Mint and able to use the Mistral model. I use an Android phone if it helps. Thanks.

Cool. Not sure why downvoted.
