The application is very big because it include the model. This make it hard to host, build, and distribute.

Instead the application could download models at first launch.

It's probably important to have a way to re-download the model in case it's corrupted or somethings.

This also open the door to update the model independently of the applications.

Good suggestion, but at least part of it is already implemented: You can now install your own models into noScribe (new in version 0.6): https://github.com/kaixxx/noScribe/wiki/Add-custom-Whisper-models-for-transcription

Besides, I want to offer a complete package that runs out of the box with a preselected choice of the best models available. Most users don't know anything about whisper, different model formats, etc. But it's good that advanced users have the option to customize the app.
