[Blog Post] AI Tools for Live Transcription

I have written a blog post on research about the landscape for live-transcription tools available for running locally, including Whisper Clip (new), WhisperKitLive, OpenWhisper and a few others. Here's the link: zl-labs.tech/post/2026-09-30-transcription-with-ai The goal for me was to have an transcription tool that I could start and stop using a button, no friction, no cloud, no payment. I hope you find one of these tools useful. I now use Whisper Clip on an hourly basis, and this article was for the most part written with it :) Let me know your thoughts! P.S. As a heads up, a GPU is almost certainly needed to run most of these tools locally.
