Comment on Show HN: Aqua Voice 2 – Fast Voice Input for Mac and Windows

Comments

Real-time text output à la Apple Dictation with the accuracy of Whisper is something I've been looking for recently - I'll definitely give Aqua a spin.

MacWhisper [0] (the app I settled on) is conspicuously missing from your benchmarks [1]. How does it compare?

We're more accurate and much faster than Mac Whisper, even their strongest model (Whisper Cpp Large V3).

For that benchmarking table, you can use Whisper Large V3 as a stand-in for Mac Whisper and Super Whisper accuracy.

I've been using Superwhisperapp for over a year and I get nothing like the error level your comparison table suggests. Which model were you using with it?

Aqua looks good and I will be testing it, but I do like that with superwhisper nothing leaves my computer unless I add AI integrations.
