Ask HN: What API or software are people using for transcription?
By

What API or software are people using for transcription? If remote API, would like it to be fast, cheap, and support summarization. Groq actually looks good as it apparently supports remote URLs for the audio file, which I actually would prefer. If local, would need to work on a base M4 mini. Looking at llamafile/whisperfile, as I'd want to be able to either cli batch it or use it as a local API/server.
