Why spend two minutes typing (and realistically longer than that, if I want to capture the exact transcript I would need to keep hitting pause and play and correcting myself) when I can spend ten seconds pasting a URL into my terminal and then dragging and dropping the resulting file onto the MacWhisper window?

I actually transcribed the whole TikTok which was about 50% longer than what I quoted, then edited it down to the best illustrative quote.

Well if you do it once then yes, but if you automate this process it is different. E.g. I do this with YouTube videos, because watching 14 minutes video or reading 30 seconds summary is time saver. I still watch some videos fully, but many of them are not worth it.

So in summary I think it was just part of automated process (maybe) or it will become one in the future.

Where's the fun in that? :D

But then you would need a Brenda. Ai can write the automation script for you.
