NOTES FROM DEVELOPER

Apologies for the radio silence.. I did find a new job, but had to move across the country for it. So between multiple moves, settling down into the new job and just recuperating from all the stress and anxiety I went through during the process made me want to take some time off.. So I was taking it easy, spending time with my family and didn't really have a lot of free time nor the mindset to work on my personal projects.. That said, things are good now and boredom has been creeping up and I have been itching to get back into my personal projects.. I still need to setup my self-hosting server which I have been procrastinating for a while now xD

TLDR the project isn't abandoned. I'll be starting development again this week :) Look like a lot of advancements and developments have happened in this domain in the past few months and I could actually use your input and thoughts on something. Please check #485 and please do drop your thoughts and comments. I would like to get the communities input on this one to decide next steps. Also, thanks for all the love and support ! Y'all are awesome.

Why I built this

The inspiration for Scriberr was born out of privacy paranoia and not wanting to pay for subscription. About a year ago, I purchased a Plaud Note for recording voice memos. I loved the device itself; the form factor, microphone quality, and workflow were excellent.

However, transcription was done on their cloud servers. As someone who is paranoid about privacy I wasn't comfortable with uploading my recordings to a third party provider. Moreover I was hit with subscription costs: $100 a year for 20 hours of transcription per month, or $240 a year for unlimited access. As an avid self-hoster with a background in ML and AI, it felt wrong to pay such a premium for a service I knew I could engineer myself.

I decided to build Scriberr to bridge that gap, creating a powerful, private, and free alternative for everyone.
