I'm working on implementing a similar dictation feature myself, with an emphasis on local models (whisper/parakeet).
Very good dictation is hard, and most of the time what makes the difference is a good post processing step, generally using a LLM. This is the only reliable way to remove fillers, cut repetitions, oral idiosyncrasies...
I think whisper flow is using a fine tuned version of some llama model. Of course, doing that part locally is more of a challenge because you don't want to have to wait 10 seconds to get the result of your dictation. It is a very interesting challenge.
is @raycast dictation any good? 🤔
thinking if i should switch from wispr flow ($15/mo) to raycast ($10/mo)

Vicinae is built in C++ btw, a very unsafe language according to X. Yet I can't remember the last time it segfaulted. Makes you think!
(Yes I will keep defending this language)
I used raycast for almost a decade. I even paid them at some point for their LLM chat.
After the latest upgrade tho even app launcher stopped working normally and started throwing memory management segfaults (HOW TF IF THIS IS SWIFT AND RUST APP)
I finally migrated to Vicinae it is better in almost every single aspect, has almost all the free features and uses less resources. I don't know why someone will keep paying for this.

That's a start! I'm going to make sure I do everything in my power to push this further
The global shortcuts protocol on upstream wayland is now merged as experimental. XFCE will most likely implement it for wayland.
Congratulations @aurelienb42 🫡

Hey DHH there's this launcher project that might work well on Omarchy called vicinae
github.com/vicinaehq/vicinae
the dev is on X @aurelienb42
It's extremely powerful and i think would be a great fit

The Windows version is going to be released very very soon! 👁️
For windows, I am not aware of any, but for macos and linux specifically, I have been using vicinae.com/ and it has been simply AWESOMELY fast.

Also working on some QOL improvements for clipboard history such as improved search and keyword highlighting!

Going to add the onboarding screen to Linux as well. For Hyprland users it means there is no manual config of any kind to do, since Hyprland supports global shortcuts!

I work with JWTs a lot, so I created a Vicinae (@aurelienb42) extension. github.com/vicinaehq/extensi…
It can also diff against a prev token - useful for debugging - and verify the signature based on `iss` or a shared secret.
If you haven't already, check out vicinae.com!

Since version v0.27.0 Vicinae now ships its very own calculator backend powered by our numen library. It supports really cool stuff such as currency, unit and timezone conversions! It is now the default on all platforms.

And... the numen library is separately licensed under BSD-3 so other projects can use it! github.com/vicinaehq/numen
