Blabby AI causes in-game lag & freezes on the same PC – anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using Blabby AI for speech-to-text on my PC and I’m running into a pretty consistent issue.

Whenever Blabby AI is running in the background and I’m gaming on the same computer, I get noticeable lag, stuttering, or freezes in-game. As soon as I close Blabby AI, the problem disappears immediately.
So I’m confident the issue is directly related to Blabby AI running at the same time.

Because of this, I constantly have to turn Blabby AI on and off while playing, which obviously isn’t ideal.

A few questions to the community:

• Has anyone else experienced performance issues while gaming with Blabby AI running?

• Does this happen with other speech-to-text tools as well, or is it specific to Blabby?

• Are there any known settings, workarounds, or optimizations (CPU/GPU usage, process priority, audio settings, etc.) to prevent this?

• Would running Blabby AI on a second machine be the only real solution?

Happy to provide system specs if helpful.
Looking forward to hearing if others have seen similar behavior or found a fix.

Thanks!
