What is Dictationer?

Why I'm sharing this

I wanted to:

1. Say thank you! 🙏 Your work made this project possible
2. Give you credit - there's a dedicated acknowledgments section in our README
3. Show the community what amazing things can be built with faster-whisper
4. Inspire others to create cool projects using your technology

The transcription quality and speed that faster-whisper provides is just incredible. What used to take minutes now happens in seconds, and the accuracy is phenomenal. You've truly democratized high-quality speech recognition! ✨

Thank you for building such an amazing tool and making it open source. The voice recognition community is so much better because of your work.

Keep being awesome! 🌟
