🎉Early Beta Release of BlabbyAI Windows App is Here!

Hey Voice Typers! We’re excited to announce that the early beta version of BlabbyAIWindows app is finally here! Want to Try the Beta Now? Download the Beta Version Your enthusiasm and support have motivated us to bring this to you as soon as possible. However, there’s something important you should know before downloading: ⚠️About the Warning Message Since this is an early beta release, we’re still in the process of obtaining a code-signing certificate. This means that when you download the app, your Windows machine might display a warning about an “unknown publisher.” Don’t worry, this is normal for unsigned apps and doesn’t mean the app is unsafe. If you’re comfortable trying the beta now, you can follow the steps below to bypass the warning. If you’d prefer to wait until the app is fully code-signed, that’s completely fine too! We’ll notify you again when it’s ready. Subscribe here Here’s how to bypass the "unknown publisher" warning: If you encounter any unexpected behavior while using the app, don’t worry! You can easily close the app from the system tray to get things back to normal. We’d love to hear your feedback to make the app even better! Feel free to Request a feature / report a bug in the dedicated feedback portal. https://blabbyai.featurebase.app/ Thanks for being part of this journey! We can’t wait to hear what you think.

Proposal: Switching from Whisper to the new GPT-4o-transcribe model

As an active user of your Chrome extension, I'd like to suggest an improvement that would significantly enhance transcription accuracy. 1. Current issue I've been using the extension for audio transcription for over a month. When working with Russian language, numerous errors occur. This requires extensive manual corrections, reducing work efficiency. 2. Solution: Transition to GPT-4o-transcribe OpenAI has released a new transcription model that substantially outperforms the current Whisper: https://openai.com/index/introducing-our-next-generation-audio-models/ Key advantages: Significantly improved accuracy (reduced Word Error Rate), tested on more than 100 languages Better recognition of accents and regional speech patterns Increased resilience to background noise during recording Adaptation to varying speech speeds Reduction of incorrect interpretations for complex words Better context understanding and recognition of specific terminology 3. Alternative solution: If the full GPT-4o-transcribe version proves too expensive, you could implement gpt-4o-mini-transcribe. Even this mini version significantly outperforms the current Whisper model in terms of accuracy and reliability. 4. Simple integration This enhancement requires minimal effort — simply changing the model name used in the API request.

Microphone level tester

Just being a nuisance again and throwing in a few ideas! From using speech-to-text full-time for a few months now, I'm getting a good handle on what the occasional pitfalls are. One that I've noticed is if your microphone level is accidentally set too low, speech-to-text accuracy naturally declines a lot. Again, as a Linux user, I'm aware that there are peculiarities in this system that most users won't experience. But the one that I've encountered is whatever setting Zoom has that automatically changes the input levels persisting after leaving a Zoom call. Just about any time the Whisper performance seems to be lagging a bit, I check my microphone level and usually it's at something like 50%. I'm guessing that there will be a percentage of people using voice typing for the first time via this extension who will run into all these “rookie errors” and more. I don't know if a decibel meter could be integrated into the extension, but that’s one idea. Another is a warning that might display if the input volume is detected to be below a certain threshold. Something like “you’re too quite! Check your mic levels” (etc)

Support for Deepgram, other STT APIs

Whisper AI is one of those rare technologies that has almost exhausted my ability to generate feature requests because it pretty much just works, which is a great achievement! But in the spirit of sharing ideas and because it's something that I thought about in the early days of testing this stuff out, I wanted to put in the idea that supporting a variety of SGT Cloud APIs might be useful for users. I'm guessing that it would be more hassle than it's worth and it's not really in sync with the Whisper brand (!), but DeepGram's APIs are good, and there are a few others that are useful too. One use case that I would highlight is that I believe a couple of these more niche platforms have explicit support for speaker accents in their API architecture. Users who have very pronounced or more unusual accents might find that the recognition is enhanced with these without having to go through the trouble of fine-tuning a model. Some other providers I’ve come across: Gladia, Speechmatics. As ASR is really heating up, I imagine the list will just keep growing.

Support for custom API key integration?

Hey awesome team! 👋 First off, huge props for your incredible Voice-to-Text interface - it's absolutely fantastic! The UI/UX is just *chef's kiss* 🔥 Feature Request: Would it be possible to add support for custom API key integration? This would allow users to: 1. Use their own API keys from various providers - OpenAI - Other Speech-to-Text services - LLM services for text cleanup 2. Maintain your amazing two-step processing: - Initial voice recognition - Secondary LLM processing for formatting and cleanup The workflow would remain the same: 1. Voice input -> Raw text 2. Raw text -> Beautifully formatted output with proper punctuation But instead of using your backend services, it would utilize our own API keys/endpoints. Benefits: - Users can leverage existing API subscriptions - More flexibility in service choice - Cost control for high-volume users - Same great UI experience Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Is this something that could be considered for a future update? Thanks for your time! 🙏 #FeatureRequest #API #Integration #VoiceToText

Plans specifically for high volume users

I understand how and why offering things like unlimited lifetime deals might be financially unviable given that you have to pay the API costs. However, as someone who has begun using your extension literally all the time, it would be fantastic to be able to have a “set-it-and-forget-it” type subscription rather than having to keep an eye on a credit availability all the time. I think that for business users this could be offered as a more expensive tier that is perhaps unlimited but still has to be funded monthly. I won't to suggest increasing the price of a service that I love, but equally I'd love to have access to a tier that I could expense for client work. If there were such a high volume tier, I would certainly subscribe.
