If you’re looking to use a local deployment and are comfortable with python projects, this deployment was fairly easy to use: https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui

I recommend using chat GPT to learn some very basic python/programming tho. I like this one https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui which uses streamlit for easy to use UI for bulk transcriptions.

This tool 2 out of the 4 items you mentioned: https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui

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

Github Repo: https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui

People may also like this tool which is a bit more about searching the contents. https://github.com/hayabhay/whisper-ui

There is whisper ui to create meta data (speech 2 text).

We made a small app for SDXL Lightning, running your own Python code on GPUs. It generates images in real time.

We know there was a fal.ai post yesterday, and that got a lot of interest, but we also made this demo yesterday and didn't share — just wanted to mention it as an alternative option for people who like running their own code and custom models instead of using a prebuilt API provider.

The backend code is open-source too and you can deploy it yourself: https://github.com/modal-labs/modal-examples/blob/main/06_gpu_and_ml/stable_diffusion/stable_diffusion_xl_lightning.py

The startup I work at is relatively pretty good at documentation engineering. We have written code to test the code snippets in docstrings (https://github.com/modal-labs/pytest-markdown-docs) and we have written code to do synthetic monitoring testing of the examples in our examples repo (https://github.com/modal-labs/modal-examples). We are also diligent about putting using Python's warnings library to handle API deprecation, and treat deprecation warnings as errors internally, ensuring our own code samples and examples are most up-to-date.

You can get it running with one Python script on Modal.com :)

This demo lets you choose the podcast, and is open-source: https://modal-labs--whisper-pod-transcriber-fastapi-app.moda...

https://github.com/modal-labs/modal-examples/tree/main/06_gp...

Transcribes 1hr of audio in roughly 1min, using parallelisation across CPUs.

It's become so easy to stick together ML models, often without training most or all of them yourself.
