Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and combines dictation, meetings, and notes in one tool. Open-source codebase fits neatly into how we already work, and meeting transcription and capture removed a step we used to do by hand. May require technical setup to self-host, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on customizable and extensible setup, and useful for both quick capture and long-form transcripts caught me off guard. Feature maturity can vary as the project evolves is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Real-time voice dictation is exactly what I needed, and self-hosting options for better privacy control. I do wish feature maturity can vary as the project evolves, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
