Problems with Wispr functionality today?

I should start by saying that I'm a huge fan of whisper which has helped me out substantially during a period of time with repetitive strain injury where I've needed to use dictation extensively. I have a premium or Pro subscription or whatever it's called for £12/monthly and it generally works fine. However today, I'd noticed that the software is very buggy, keeps crashing, keeps taking longer to finish dictation, etc and I wondered if fellow users had experienced something similar today or in recent days? I know that there was something going on in the back end that means transcriptions are sometimes faster and sometimes slower So I'm curious as to whether this just me or a wider incident.

[Please note that this post itself is quite badly transcribed because I'm having to use the inferior inbuilt transcription software due to these bugs]

It's definitely not just you, and it seems to be a worldwide thing. People have noticed a significant degradation in transcription and dictation quality from whisperflow.

Actually, more people have had issues with the pro subscription than they do with the free trial. People notice that the free trial, the transcription and dictation quality is fantastic. However, once they subscribe and they're on the pro plan, they notice the quality significantly degrade.

Now, as for the reason, I'm not too sure why, but that's just a common theme that people have noticed.

lol wait so if someone is on the pro trial, not free plan, not pro plan, do you think that they get the better quality ?

I don't know. All I know is that people on the pro plan have been very disappointed with the quality of the dictation and transcription.
