I hear you. VST/VST3 support is inconsistent through wine and while there are some alternatives to some plugins, I’m not committed enough to give up the ogs I love just yet.

To my knowledge, Recall rollout is currently only to Copilot+ PCs, and my debloated Win11 is safe for now. I’ll remain vigilant, though 🫡

Working with an LLM, I’ve been able to use vosk and python to get something that works well, given a small delay. Using pyautogui, sounddevice, and keyboard, it works. I also implemented a toggle for transcription using a keyboard shortcut. Not as nice as having a gui and more options, but it does the job.

I’d still be interested if anyone knows of a simpler “just works” solution, but this does seem like it’ll suit my needs. Hopefully others can find this helpful.
