Very useful, thank you. Feature request: Allow me to drag & drop a mp3 to get a transcript of it on the app dashboard. Would be great.

Awesome work, friend, thanks a lot !!! Worked well for me on macOS Sonoma on an M2 Macbook Air. Also the Chrome extension works well, though I had some problems here, but that probably had to do with me using not the latest browser version within my specific testing context. But even there, it finally worked to a very usable degree. I would appretiate an option for not saving all of the audio recordings from the past. Because for dictating, you'll usually never need them again, and they pile up concerning used hard drive space. Or maybe something like just keeping the last recording if you have to resend it to OpenAI, but when a new recording is done, delete all of the older ones. Thanks again and best wishes!

Sorry, is there a how-to or a loom to look at on how to get this to work? I have the Mac Whisper and I'm dying to have something like this to work, but this doesn't work at all by pressing the button and none of it. So if you could do a walkthrough, that would be great for the obtuse learners like me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
