I hate wispr flow

1/ I paid for Wispr Flow for half a year.

Today I'm launching the thing that replaced it.

2/ The thing that killed it for me: I talk in English. I get back random other language. A dictation tool that guesses my language wrong — and I'm paying for this.

3/ And when OpenAI is down, Wispr is down, and I just sit there. No way to switch the model. No offline. Voice-to-text without internet is a solved problem in 2026, but not for them apparently.

4/ But honestly the biggest problem — I wanted friendly voice-to-text. They built "AI that does everything for you." I don't need everything. I need my words, as text, fast, in the language I said them.

5/ So I built VTT. Voice-to-text that is just voice-to-text. Pick any model or provider, switch when one is slow. Works offline.

PH told me to share my story, so here it is. I'll be in the comments. Roast me if it deserves it.
