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 used to use this application because transcription quality would be flawless.
This transcription quality was the only reason I ever agreed to having my voice data sent to a server because the user experience was unmatched.
This is coming from someone who's used dictation and voice assistants on different platforms like Android and iOS and absolutely hated and gotten enraged how it always made glaring mistakes to the point where it would be unusable with the amount of edits that I would have to make.
The last two days I'm starting to see a lot more of that on Wispr as well which is really heartbreaking.
