OpenWispr does offer dual processing options to meet different user needs. In local processing mode, the application runs entirely on the user's device and all voice data never leaves the device, which provides security for privacy-conscious users. However, in this mode, at least 8GB of RAM and a fast CPU are recommended to ensure performance.
The cloud processing mode is realized through the OpenAI API, which is faster but requires a stable network connection and a valid API key. Users can easily switch between these two modes in the control panel, choosing the most appropriate processing method for each situation. It is worth noting that cloud-based processing involves OpenAI's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
