| The top thing I want to, the technical thing I want to find today is the whisper hotkey. I can try to use Claude. Or maybe there is some, maybe it really is a live coding thing. Or there is some, the speech, I think there is a speech subreddit, speech tag. And I think it's going to get bigger and bigger.<br><br>The other thing I want to think about is microphone positioning for the one that I have the ATR mic. It's actually a mono source mic and I probably will get much different results. I think actually I might go back to the Gooseneck and keep this one just for I guess maybe on the road use. I think the pickup is better, but it's worth actually thinking about that. It may be just trying a few audio samples head to head.<br><br>And in fact it would be very easy to do an evaluation with almost really scientific in nature. Record the exact same thing, exact same phrase into a microphone in controlled conditions, in other words it's a note down the source, note down the distance, similar gain, note down the parameters in other words, all using the same Whisper model and then compare the and the speech arrays for every microphone. It would be interesting to know what the best results have and the results of comparing head to head.<br><br>Wearable headset Bluetooth headset lav mic and then for the non microphones comparing the Samsung Q2U with the ATR with the other ATR, the boundary mic, and with the gooseneck microphone. And seeing which of those we say reliably is the best in class for both modes of operation. And of course it's going to vary a little bit more but it would be surprising actually if someone hadn't done the research it would also be interesting to look at what Philips are bringing to market at the moment maybe even sort of plan it down the road as my ideal.<br><br>Yeah, it's $470 a dictation microphone. I'm not sure what would be the best use case to look to in terms of critical accuracy. I would say probably something like medical use, like radiology or transcription, because a lot of these are built for on-the-go use, where you have the context that's most fitting to my one of someone sitting at a desk. Now it's not guaranteed to be quiet with Ezra, so there's a bit of background noise going on, but it's still a relatively stable acoustic environment and in these contexts where you know no one's compromising on on a hundred dollars here or there what do people reach for as the gold standard? |
