Captions are nonsensical, is it my fault? #119

Hello! I tried using this plugin for a week, and I had high hopes, but it didnt work well. I dont know if I did something wrong, or if it just hates my accent/speech, but it would put up the most jumbled nonsense for captions. It actually detected perfectly, but then I guess it gets sent out to be poked at by data hamsters.. and then it would change into a complete trainwreck. I could see that it was accurate in it's capture, but it's almost like it was being auto corrected.

I desperately would love to have this work. Using a plugin makes so much sense, and my regulars were looking forward to being able to use CC.

Is there something that I missed to make it work better?

Do you maybe have the integrated OBS captions enabled too? That are under Tools -> Captions (Experimental).

Those use the Windows built in speech recognition which is usually pretty terrible, so if those were also enabled in addition to my plugin that would probably behave that way, show correctly in the captions dock preview of my plugin but then have a garbled mess sent out because both the plugin and the OBS internal one are sending captions.

nope, tried them once and turned it off. they were.. a trainwreck lol. My accent is kiwi/british with a lil american thrown in.. but i dont think its as bad as what it looked like. I'll double check though, and try your plugin again (its such a cool plugin!).
