en 250105 update: it stopped working.. the copy paste function... downgrade to 2 stars.. Original: I've tested the application. It works not just on the ChatGPT website, also on other websites, but not every single site works, but I don't think that's the problem of the extension. I do have a suggestion, which is maybe on the settings page where user inputs the API key, add some security features, maybe block the key or hide it. Because this is a client side application, I think people do want extra security in it. Thank you very much for creating this wonderful extension.

en 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.

en 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!

en 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.

en I havent been able to get the extension itself to work. I've entered my API key and allowed it to access my mic. When I click the mic button nothing happens at all. Uninstalled and reinstalled both on edge and chrome with no luck. I used the desktop app and it works. But id love to use the extension.

en Would be great if the base url for Whisper was configurable so that we could use locally hosted Whisper. Also, streaming would be great!

en Causes a bug within Claude (on Edge), where you cant create project (screen goes white) and also cant edit previous chat messeges. Otherwise it does work great. Did not try messing with the settings, possibly a setting might fix it - right now I disabled the extension.

en Thank you for creating this great app! Everything works well and is very user-friendly. Could you please clarify if the audio files created by the "Create audio file of my voice" feature are saved locally on the device or uploaded to your servers? Thanks!

en Edit 26/06: since last update my keyboard activation doesnt work anymore! I cant get the app to start on any webpage, and tried every setting. Worked excellent until a few days ago when everytime I use a voice message to type it triggers the "prove you are not a bot" popup and I have to complete 6 captcha's for every single message. It's driving me crazy.
