Does the new SpeechAnalyzer API not call Apple Servers? I remember when I was building on the last version, it you wanted real time transcription you needed at least to upload it to Apple Servers for processing.

I think it once did! Now it doesn't - ways to easily verify this:

1) install the dmg in the GH repo

2) turn off wifi

3) use it offline

That doesn’t prove it doesn’t send data if it has the possibility. It could use the offline model only as a fallback.

yeah, this is a possibility and also they could store it and send it after we appear online.

The funny thing about this project is that I own https://www.yaps.ai which is also offline dictation, amidst a ton of other things (e.g. speech generation, meetings, video editing, etc.). And I legit thought this thread was about my tool until I opened it up.
