The author is very clear that that's not what they are trying to achieve:
"Now, don’t get me wrong, Jabber is not “production quality.” I would never sell it as a product or even recommend it to other people, but it does what I needed from Wispr Flow, and it does exactly the way I want it to."
And yet for whatever reason, jabber actually works for me. I have tried a few apps, some of them I even paid for and I thought voice recognition is not good for me (I'm a L2 speaker).
Whatever the default model was choose for jabber, it just hits my sweet spot: it recognizes my speech faster than typing (I type relatively quickly and speak relatively slowly, so any lag in the recognition can quickly tip the scale).
I honestly don't know what a real production software of this kind would do better (besides the promise that somebody will actually take care of issuing updates for the next time apple breaks backward compat)
