Whisper is the way to go for speech to text (edit: had that backwards). Whisper.cpp is decently fast too: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/releases/tag/v1.7.1 Get the binaries from the link that’s on that page (god GitHub usability sucks)

I want to second Pelican for Python. Really easy to set up and get going. No need to learn a complicated templating language (it’s jinja2, which is what everything uses).

yeah, but it’ll be hard to make those Y Combinator vultures rich at that price
