  • whisper

    Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision

  • Good improvements for many languages, numbers here

    https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/language-breakdo...

  • openWakeWord

    An open-source audio wake word (or phrase) detection framework with a focus on performance and simplicity.

  • https://github.com/dscripka/openWakeWord

    Balancing wake reliability vs false wake activation is a tricky balance. OWW is decent but could certainly be better.

    It's used with Home Assistant now so I expect the training data and implementation overall to get significantly better fairly soon.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • whisper-dictation

    Dictation app based on the OpenAI speed to text models

  • faster-whisper-dictation

    Dictation app based on the Faster Whisper transcription with CTranslate2

  • whisper.el

    Speech-to-Text interface for Emacs using OpenAI's whisper model and whisper.cpp as inference engine.

  • whisper-live-transcription

    Live-Transcription (STT) with Whisper PoC

  • I implemented a dummy real-time (tested on Mac M1) transcription approach with Whisper. You can find the project here: https://github.com/gaborvecsei/whisper-live-transcription

    The idea was to provide transcription results as fast as you can, and you can refine it along the way by providing more and more context.
