Show HN: Self-host Whisper As a Service with GUI and queueing

  Port of OpenAI's Whisper model in C/C++

By the way there is also another project called Whisper.cpp:

https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Which uses x8 less memory than the Python implementation for the tiny model. It would be a good idea to keep an eye on it since there are Python bindings planned on the roadmap:

I was working on this yesterday. It seems that the most common approach with Whisper is simply to break the audio into chunks and transcribe each one separately. This works but as you'd expect sometimes has trouble at the edges.

You could do better by overlapping the segments, except then stitching the transcriptions together becomes an issue since whisper doesn't provide reliable per-token timestamps [0], and the output of the common part of overlapping segments isn't necessarily the same.

Some more useful discussion here [1].

  Input a local file or url and this service will transcribe it using Whisper AI. Completely private and Free 🤯🤯🤯

People interested in this might also be interested in transcribe-anything [1].

It automates video fetching and uses whisper to generate .srt, .vtt and .txt files.
