dockerd commented on Why do voice transcription apps charge monthly when Whisper runs locally?   lucidvoice.app/... · Posted by u/metalogical

Whisper runs fine locally. So why are Willow ($144/year), Wisprflow ($120/year), and SuperWhisper ($120/year) all subscriptions?

I got frustrated paying monthly for something that could run on my Mac, so I built Lucid Voice:

- 100% offline (Nvidia Parakeet + Llama)

- $20 one-time (mainly to cover Apple's notarization costs)

- Runs on surprisingly low-end hardware (M1 base models work fine)

- No cloud, no data collection

Open to feedback on anything - pricing, the tech stack, or if this should just be free: https://lucidvoice.app

The pricing is good for customer.

At the same time, I think you shouldn't give away "Lifetime updates" for same pricing tier. Are you planning to support it for the next 10+ years and across next 5-10 mac hardware/version without any new license cost?

Personally, I am and always was very put off by Wallabag's design. It seems permanently stuck in the 2010s default Bootstrap era.

There was and technically still is Omnivore (https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore), but it got aquired by ElevenLabs last year and the official instance got shut down. Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori) also comes to mind, but I think that's about it.

As for closed source solutions, I'd say Readwise Reader (https://readwise.io/read) actually innovated a little bit for the first time in over a decade by catering to power users, but I didn't use it often enough to justify a perpetual $10/month subscription (no free tier what so ever).

Nowadays I just use Obsidian's web clipper.

Monetization. If people aren’t willing to pay for the products, these companies have figured out how to make the customers’ data the product.

Most paid streaming services now started showing ads because they are looking for more revenue and profit.

With ollama you could offload a few layers to cpu if they don't fit in the VRAM. This will cost some performance ofcourse but it's much better than the alternative (everything on cpu)
