And while Whisper is OpenAI, it is trivial to use locally and extremely usefull

Install this for Resolve

Just use this one: https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz

What utilities related to Whisper do you wish existed? What have you had to build yourself?

On the end user application side, I wish there was something that let me pick a podcast of my choosing, get it fully transcribed, and get an embeddings search plus answer q&a on top of that podcast or set of chosen podcasts. I've seen ones for specific podcasts, but I'd like one where I can choose the podcast. (Probably won't build it)

Also on the end user side, I wish there was an Otter alternative (still paid $30/mo, but unlimited minutes per month) that had longer transcription limits. (Started building this, not much interest from users though)

Things I've seen on the dev tool side:

Gladia (API call version of Whisper)

Whisper.cpp

Whisper webservice (https://github.com/ahmetoner/whisper-asr-webservice) - via this thread

Live microphone demo (not real time, it still does it in chunks) https://github.com/mallorbc/whisper_mic

Streamlit UI https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui

Whisper playground https://github.com/saharmor/whisper-playground

Real time whisper https://github.com/shirayu/whispering

Whisper as a service https://github.com/schibsted/WAAS

Improved timestamps and speaker identification https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX

MacWhisper https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper

Crossplatform desktop Whisper that supports semi-realtime https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz

I'd like to take advantage of high quality TTS models but I'd prefer it to be one I may host myself.

Haven't found the right way yet, I'm considering: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

Fast or good, choose one

Mozilla's TTS is a python package installable with pip and uses cpu or gpu resources to render a choice of voices, they mostly sound natural and this is the good. https://github.com/mozilla/TTS

Mycroft's mimic3 is the default voice renderer for the Mycroft project that runs on pi hardware and sounds ok-ish, that is the fast. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

There are many others but these are the two I use according to if it needs to run on limited hardware or if the cycles fall freely from the sky.

It took quite a bit of digging to find the repo link https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3#readme and it's AGPL-3 for those interested in such things

Recently seeing this testing mailserver linked on HN: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/86/introducing-mailcrab

I was reminded of another useful tool, mimic3 by MycroftAI that gives you very nice TTS: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

So I was wondering: what other useful apps have been containerized for easy setup and great usefulness?

Basically the point of this question is to let people share these, for the benefit of all.

You could also try the successor but they didn't get around implementing the harvard voice yet and we don't like any of the voices that come with it.

https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 this? it can be easily hosted on docker as well
