Can this be adjusted to use whisper.cpp for offline transcription? #50

I'm looking for something that works offline / local-only and whisper.cpp seems great for that. I can probably work out some basic piping to clipboard, but perhaps there's an easier way.

looks like even just assuming the host machine has the official whisper cli installed could work

I'll be trying to do this my self, I'll keep you posted.

I might end up making a local variety using a smaller/medium model of whisper, for us with beefier set ups.

(I work too much with pytorch, by the laws of python, I require an RTX 2070+ so I'll try to see what solutions I can come up with that come out just as clear quality, and submit a pull request if I do.)

Did you ever get this to work? I'd love to have whisper.cpp (or some other version of whisper) running on my mac and be able to use it to transcribe notes made in Obsidian on my phone or on my computer.

asking for this as well. Much prefer to run something like this myself rather than passing any dictation into the ether.
