Immortalin··on Oni – Modern Modal Editing
Because most cross-platform desktop GUI kits are terrible. Everything that's not paid requires a lot of fiddling with C++ bindings and obscure build scripts. Electron is built on Chrome which has billions of dollars backing it. If you want something that's easy to use (and not having to spend too much time thinking about license compliance), looks pretty and works well, your options are pretty limited. Say what you must about Google and profiting from ads but electron is one of the only few full-featured GUI frameworks that allows for simple statically linked app distribution. For free.

Immortalin··on Show HN: Auditus – Ebook to Audiobook Conversion
From my experiments generating subtitles from TV/movie audiotrack, 75% (worst case) to 95% (best case). If you model it as a standard distribution, somewhere around 85-90% accuracy. Most services provide much better accuracy for stuff like calls or conferences with proper microphones and minimal background noise than for things like TV shows and movies. If the input audio is noisy, I would do some noise filtering before piping it into conversion.
