+1 on the post-processing point. Raw Whisper output is ~90% there but punctuation, grammar, and formatting are the missing piece.
I built MumbleFlow to address exactly this — whisper.cpp for STT plus llama.cpp for smart text cleanup, all running on-device. Metal/CUDA accelerated, sub-second latency on Apple Silicon. Global hotkey works in any app.
