I vibecoded a similar app. Here’s the open source link, if folks want to build their own:

Yes, but by a negligible margin. My program is designed for multi-track audio, which means I run this in parallel on multiple 3 hour recordings, and get results in 12 minutes.

You haven’t shared any architectural details. What model? What size? How can anyone be sure that what you’re building is truly offline?

Yours isn't OSS, meaning I have no idea what I'm running

OSS would be incredibly slow, also seems like overkill for this use case

I was going to buy the app, but these responses are putting me off massively. How would making it OSS slow it down?

I suspect, from the responses of the creator here, that this app they are selling is likely violating a number of open source licenses…

Can you back up your claim that it's slow?

What does that even mean? Why would OSS make it slower? Why would it be an overkill? This is not Producthunt, you have to give at least some kind of explanation for your claims.

OSS as in open source software. Not Open Sound System. Just in case.
