Hermes Agent Nearly Doubled Speech-to-Text Accuracy on Hard Words: 99 to 183 of 240

A user turned his 15K saved Wispr Flow dictations into a test set for the local Whisper model behind his Hermes Agent. The agent turned his Wispr dictionary into a hint list, diffed raw vs corrected text to find words Whisper keeps mishearing, made find-and-fix rules, and tested every rule against the full history. With no fine-tuning, dictionary words went from 99/240 to 183/240 on Wispr clips and 19/45 to 43/45 on sentences he read aloud. It now archives the data nightly and looks for new fixes weekly.
