Why I Chose Edge AI Over Cloud APIs for Podcast Tools

Description and use

<p>When I first started podcasting, I thought the hard part was hitting "record." I was wrong. The real grind happened after the mic turned off. I would spend twice as long writing show notes, brainstorming titles, and formatting transcripts as I did actually recording. I tried stitching together a few standard cloud APIs to automate it, but the latency was annoying, and managing API keys across different services felt like a chore. I just wanted a simple pipeline to turn my raw audio transcripts into structured metadata. So I decided to build something.</p> <h2> The Post-Production Tax </h2>
