This is really cool, I wish I could use it on my Windows 11 X1 Carbon which also comes with a NPU.
I was quite disappointed that the dictation tool Lenovo praised on their website for this "CoPilot+ AI PC" turned out to be a shortcut to the Windows 11 transcription tool. My hope was that they were indeed putting the NPU to use for that. Other than that this is a great machine. In any case, Lenovo should fire whoever is responsible for that feature and hire you instead.
It would also be great to see a demo of how this works on your machine. Thank you for sharing it at all, though!
Hey Finn, great project and impressive demo. I had some questions that I was able to answer via the FAQ, except for #3. I'll put the first two here just in case somebody else has the same questions:
1) What about languages other than English? Just English is supported for now.
2) Is this running locally? No.
3) Could you imagine offering a one time payment option? Dragon is currently charging 999 € for their latest version but I really like the fact that I actually own the software after paying once.
