Glad I began replacing windows as much as possible with Bazzite. It has had it snags but this and the gdid obscenity has really been worth dodging.

I found this program not long ago and it does well as long as you adjust your mics. Turns out my built in laptop mic was peaking and gave poor inputs to the program. Another bottleneck is ram, my laptop also doesn’t have the most(8gb), even so it is able to use the larger models at a slower speed. I recommend it for anyone needing a privacy focused dictation to text program.

They do offer extensions for a range of things also, I have several grammar checkers I’m testing now.

So glad to be living through 2008 4.0.

Don’t know if this find a lot of people or if it is still the greatest choice but I use Notesnook.

I looked for months for negatives to substack before starting my publications there. This is all news to me. Looking at the alternatives costing the creators a fee for zero subscribers leaves me with no choice but to stay for the moment being also. Hopefully a real contender pops up soon.
