@globcoco @kallekn Whisper https://github.com/openai/whisper is FOSS but not the data it was trained with. It's part of OpenAI. And I have used this implementation https://github.com/Nikorasu/LiveWhisper to transcribe Finnish phone calls. It's a python app that runs on a terminal, so not super user friendly yet but you run it and it listen to your mic and transcribe what it hears and optionally translate it

I'm having a maddening error with my iPhoneSE (iOS 14.8). I have a new hair stylist with the same first name, but her spelling is very unconventional. Let's say Bryndah for Brenda. I haven't communicated with her all that much, but my phone now seems to think that Bryndah is how I spell my name.

I have:
-- deleted Siri & Dictation History
-- reset the Keyboard Dictionary
-- set a Keyboard Shortcut with the correct spelling
-- assigned a Phonetic First Name to myself
-- removed "Bryndah" from my Contacts
-- turned it off and back on
-- yelled at #Siri, "OMFG, that's not how I spell my name!"

Nothing has worked. Any suggestions, friends?
