Privacy first - all data stays on your machine. The plugin runs [OpenAI's Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) to process real-time speech and predict a transcription, utilizing [Whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) from [ggerganov](https://github.com/ggerganov) to run the model efficiently on CPUs and GPUs. Translation is done with [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2). ## Usage
