dicio-android VS whisper

So perhaps it's a good day to call for contributors to add more actions to https://github.com/Stypox/dicio-android ? If Google wants to remove features, they can be replaced by something that doesn't have that problem.

I've just discovered Dicio, a promising voice assistant and speech-to-text app that is pure FOSS. I'd love to use the apps's speech-to-text capabilities system-wide. Reading through the Github page of the app tells me that this is possible.

Dicio is the onl one I know. Since version 0.8 it can be used as a general SST engine from any app (didn't test it personally tho)

Dicio (version Placeholder): Voice assistant: multilanguage, configurable and free

You can use open source assistant instead like Dicio https://github.com/Stypox/dicio-android and configure it the way you like.

Hey! Best thing I know of at the moment is Dicio made by some of the same people behind NewPipe.

Let’s not talk about local models as the hardware requirements are way beyond most of these people’s reach. I have a MacBook Air with an M2 chip and 8GB of RAM and can hardly run Whisper locally, so I use this HuggingFace space.

Last week, I launched notesGPT, a free and open source voice note app that has 35,000 visitors, 7,000 users, and over 1,000 GitHub stars so far in the last week. It allows you to record a voice note, transcribes it uses Whisper, and uses Mixtral via Together to extract action items and display them in an action items view. It’s also fully open source and comes equipped with authentication, storage, vector search, action items, and is fully responsive on mobile for ease of use.

I found a pretty good discussion in the topic here:

There is a plot of language performance on their repo: https://github.com/openai/whisper

I am not aware of a multi-lingual leaderboard for speech recognition models.

I don't know how OP does it, but here's how I'd do it:

* Generate a transcript by runing Whisper against the podcast audio file: https://github.com/openai/whisper

* Upload transcript to ChatGPT and ask it to summarize.

* Automate all the above.

Ahh, that makes sense. I've been building something like that, but only from other languages into English using Whisper

Whisper already generates subtitles[0], supporting VTT and SRT so this is just a thin wrapper around that.

Maybe you can rely on some sort of speaker identification to sort this out?
