Open the original- What it measures
- The README's features list describes Buzz as a program that runs Whisper on your own computer. Live transcription is listed as a separate feature from file transcription.
- What it does not show
- A feature list shows what the app offers, not how fast or accurate live transcription is on a given computer. Test it on your own hardware before relying on it.
