I've done 3+hours with MacWhisper without issue? One downside is the transcription is not real time - can Scriber Pro do realtime?

I haven't worked in a while with transcription, but whisper.cpp itself (which I assume is the underlying tech behind MacWhisper) does realtime transcription on my MBP with an M1 Pro chip. When I first started writing my last completed novel, I fired it up and just started telling the story to test it out. Realtime.

That was back in 2023. I assume things work better now.
