SpeechRecognition VS buzz

Start and Stop Listening Example

There is a great library that has support not only with OpenAIs whisper but many others that also work offline. https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition

This is the library: https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition

It is python remote plugin that is a tin wrapper around speech_recognition package.

I am less familiar with speech recognition myself. I have implemented something similar many years ago, back when Google had a REST API that allowed you to upload audio and they would respond with the recognized words/sentence. I think they still have the same API available, though. They limited how much you could send, but for voice commands it was pretty solid. However, SpeechRecognition looks like a library worth trying out for this, as that seems like it could do offline processing depending on the underlying library. They also have some examples to look at.

I found this one here

https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition/blob/master/reference/library-reference.rst this might help. I guess your best bet is to rtfm.

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)
