I don't think I'd call anything that only works with a proprietary Internet hosted LLM (one you need an account to use) open-source.

This is less voice dictation software, and much more a shim to [popular LLM provider]

I prefer Gemini 2.0 Flash because it is both faster and more capable than local large language models. In this context, I am not concerned about Google having my data; my primary objective is ensuring my government does not gain access to it ;)

Hey, sorry if the examples given were not robust, but because this is built on Pipecat, you can actually very easily swap to a local LLM if you prefer that, and the project is already set up to allow you to do that via environment variables.

The integration to set up the WebRTC connection, get the voice dictation working seamlessly from anywhere, and input into any app took a long time to build out, and that's why I want to share this open source.
