Yea whisper has more features and is awesome if you have the hardware to run the big models that are accurate enough. The constraint here is the best cpu only implementation. By no means am I wedded or affiliated with parakeet, it's just the best/fastest within the CPU hardware space.
My project has a built-in word_replacement so you can automatically replace certain terms if that's important to you in the config.toml
i loved whisper but it was insanely slow on cpu only and even then it was with a smaller whisper that isn't as accurate as parakeet.
my windows environment locks down the built-in windows option so i don't have a way to test it. i've heard it's pretty good if you're allowed to use it, but your inputs don't stay local which is why i needed to create this project.
