This is cool - I’ll definitely give it a try.

Re the patent of voice control, does it really sound defendable? That sounds a bit too obvious to be patentable at the level of “observe speaker’s speech and adjust text accordingly”, I’d have thought. Maybe they’ve patented a particular technical approach but now there must be dozens of voice to text models that you could leverage in a slightly different way. I’d love to try the result of something like that.

Seems to get a bit funky if I scroll on the screen while it’s playing. It changes the speed permanently until I reset. The speed slider also seems to invert after that??
