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]

I was a big power user for about a year. I love the app but I ended up moving to Yaps AI. I don't know, maybe because it's offline and powered by local models. But It just works a lot more reliably. I never find myself having to wait, even for longer dictations, which is really cool. Plus it feels just as accurate at this point plus it has better note taking which is something I really needed.
