Use-case questions.
Anyone who types the same kinds of prose all day: developers (prompts, PRs, docs), students (essays, notes), writers (drafts, scripts), and professionals (emails, meetings, reports).
Yes — free and MIT open-source for every use case. Use local Whisper and Ollama without a cloud key, or bring your own key for cloud providers; provider charges may apply.
