I found a speech recognition model hiding inside VS Code, and it never sends a word to the cloud
VS Code surprises me with a handy feature every few months. Last month, it was Remote SSH, and more recently, I discovered a speech recognition model hiding inside VS Code. I had been using speech recognition tools, Wispr Flow in particular, for almost a year, but I ditched it recently because the transcription quality had gone to the dogs. There’s also always a privacy angle with these tools because you’re trusting them with literally everything you say. They can also take a look at your screen because they have accessibility permissions. It was really hard for me to trust a private, cloud-based tool with that kind of information.
