I'm not familiar with whisper.c++ but I did try faster-whisper. Unfortunately, the transcriptions took upward of 40sec and it didn't offer live transcription, which is a nice feature of vosk. There's a comparison in the readme with other differences. That said, it should be relatively modular. It shouldn't take much to swap it back to whisper if that's what you prefer to use. Whisper is in the nix flake as optional, and the program allows you to change models but i haven't bothered trying to switch back to Whisper since Vosk has been more performant.
