whisper VS Scoop

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.

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.

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?

You can do it live or you can do it from a video file. There are more than just English models as well, though the performance varies by language. https://github.com/openai/whisper

Do you know if these implementations also support leveraging the M1/M2 GPU, such as shown here? https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/382

Good improvements for many languages, numbers here

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows, aimed at making it easier for users to manage software installations and maintain a clean system. It's designed with developers and power users in mind but can be beneficial for any Windows user looking for an efficient way to manage software. Basically it makes our life easier when it comes to software installation of any sort. Scoop support installation for large number of software. Check it out here Scoop.

I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).

Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

There are a number of ways that you can install the Snyk CLI on your machine, ranging from using the available stand-alone executables to using package managers such as Homebrew for macOS and Scoop for Windows.

If you're on Windows you can try Scoop https://scoop.sh/#/apps

I suggest creating your own PowerShell scripts and distributing them via scoop, by making a steam deck bucket, some windows power users should be able to help, then just make a video on how to install those scripts, or try reaching out to Chris Titus on YT, he made a windows de-bloater tool using PowerShell scripts

Package managers in Linux have been around for soooo long. I hope it catches on for windows more and more - my favorite at the moment is scoop.sh

scoop for installing stuff that isn't already on windows' official package manager (winget) without the hassle

Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.
