another free tier (but not opensource) recording tool Ive been using is MacWhisper. Does this and more all locally too. Will try hyprnote out because its neat to do the transcription in real time and its note taking purposes

we will support even faster realtime transcription in near future. (within few weeks)

What model? All the realtime transcription services I've seen are Whisper wrappers or custom closed source ones.

It's custom model. (whisper variant)

Makes sense. How well do you expect Hyprnote to work on mobile? I found that phones in general are still pretty weak at AI inference on-device still.

I think it will work pretty well considering how rapid it moves. (See gemma3n, Cactus etc)
