Hi everyone!
A few days ago I released Whishper, a new version of a project I’ve been working for about a year now.
It’s a self-hosted audio transcription suite, you can transcribe audio to text, generate subtitles, translate subtitles and edit them all from one UI and 100% locally (it even works offline).
I hope you like it, check out the website for self-hosting instructions: https://whishper.net
Does this need to connect to openai or does it function fully independently? Its for offline use.
No, it’s completely independent, it does not rely on any third-party APIs or anything else. It can function entirely offline once the models have been downloaded.
The readme mentions “transcription time on CPU” so it’s probably running locally
