My $40 AI voice tool saved me from a week of typing

I dropped $40 on a little AI voice-to-text tool called Whisper last weekend. I had to transcribe three hours of interview audio for a project and was dreading it. Ran it through the tool and got the full text back in about 10 minutes, almost no mistakes. Did anyone else try a budget AI tool that actually worked better than you expected?

I mean, that's amazing for $40. I've been dreading a similar transcription task and this gives me hope.

Used to roll my eyes at people saying AI tools could actually save time on stuff like this. Then I spent a whole weekend fighting with a 3 hour interview recording and gave up. Tried one of those cheap transcription services last month and it wasn't perfect but it got me a rough draft in 20 minutes. Definitely changed my mind on what's possible now.
