Field notes
Wisp uses two local models in sequence: Whisper transcribes speech, while Gemma removes fillers, repairs punctuation, and applies commands such as “make this a bulleted list.” The page specifies Apple Silicon and macOS 14+, with an approximately 5 GB model download that remains on the machine after setup. It also describes a future personal fine-tuning workflow based on an optional on-device training log.
