This free Obsidian plugin turns my voice into notes, and it all runs on my computer

After getting inspired by my XDA colleagues, I started using Obsidian as my primary note-taking app on my computer. I used it to jot down my thoughts, ideas, links, photos, and other relevant bits. But typing long notes does get tiring at times, and I wish Obsidian had a native feature to convert voice notes to text. Before, I tried Apple’s Notes app to take and transcribe voice notes, but my experience was underwhelming. It all changed when I discovered the Whisper plugin for Obsidian. Since I started using the plugin, it has been a game-changer. I vehemently use it to take voice notes without worrying about when or how I will transcribe them all.
