Additional Information
Whisper Buddy is made by nghialuong. Nghialuong has 12 years of experience in tech. The app was made to fix privacy issues by keeping all work local. The developer might add optional cloud transcription later. This could make it more accurate while keeping local processing as the main option. The app needs macOS 14.6 or later. It works with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. For the best performance, it is good to have at least 8GB of RAM. The app will download AI tools locally. These tools can be 1-3GB big, depending on the language you choose.
