thanks - I've also bought macwhisper. I'm looking for less GUI and more daemon (also it's been super buggy - hopefully their recent update helps)

I found MacWhisper to be great. I built and used my own solution for a couple of years before settling on MacWhisper.

I’ve also encountered some bugs. While debugging, I found that many stem from Apple’s platform itself (not MacWhisper) particularly around Metal and arbitrary object resource limits.

I can always feel hte MacWhisper bugs about to come on when you start to see little glitches like document icon previews in the Dock not rendering or screenshot utility not rendering the screenshot preview, brief flashes of magenta or green when resizing windows.

interesting - I'll keep an eye out for that and see if I can identify it too
