I noticed that Skitch.app from Evernote is looong gone. So much so, that MacOS 27+ will stop Rosetta 2 which means that we need a MacOS 27+ alternative. So now there's this alternative that is completely free and open-source MIT license.

How does this compare to VoiceInk which is also open-source and been there much longer and supports all the features that you have? https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk
VoiceInk (one time payment) and WisprFlow (subscription) are currently my fav dictation apps. I just looked at Whispering and have to say VoiceInk is far superior to Whispering in terms of Ux, and clarity of settings, so I think VoiceInk deserves at least as much attention. There are several things that make a huge difference things that make a huge difference in dictation apps, besides the obvious speed and accuracy:
- allow flexible recording toggle shortcuts
- show a visual icon with waves etc showing recording
- how the clipboard is handled during recording (does it copy to clipboard? does it clear it after text output?)
VoiceInk is nearly there in terms of good behavior on these dimensions, and I hope to ditch my Wispr Flow sub soon.
For the Whispering dev: would it be possible to set "right shift" as a toggle? also do it like VoiceInk which is:
- either short right shift press -> then it starts, and short right shift press again to stop
- or "long right shift press" (eg when at pressed at least for 0.5s) -> then it starts and just waits for you to release right shift to stop
it's quite convenient
another really cool stuff would be to have the same "mini-recorder" which pops-up on screen like VoiceInk when you record, and once you're done it would display the current transcript, and any of your "transformation" actions, and let you choose which one (or multiple) you want to apply, each time pasting the result in the clipboard
