[Air-L] transcription software/services

[Aaron S. Veenstra]

I'm using something that I imagine is similar, MacWhisper (
https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper). It looks like they've just
raised the price of a single pro license by €10, but still affordable and
they also do academic discounts. There is also a free version available
that doesn't have access to the bigger language models. It's very good for
English, but my project involves Spanish as well and it's much touchier
there. I'm running it on a baseline 2023 Mac Mini and it typically does an
hour of audio in about 15 minutes.
