    Fun... This is something I actually care about...

    I used to keep a version of whisperx around, because I think it's important to have not just transcription, but also timing and speaker identification (e.g. for subtitles)

    Lately, though, I coded up an OpenAI compatible server for parakeet-rs ( https://github.com/altunenes/parakeet-rs ) and I've been using it with OpenWhispr (a desktop app for transcription that handles all sorts of neat thing).

    I'm doing CPU-only transcription (because I use my GPUs for other stuff and haven't gotten around to adding in the GPU-path), but it's incredibly empowering to be able to have local transcriptions at will.

    This was an interesting read, thanks for sharing. I've recently been building something that uses Parakeet v2/v3 models, I'm using the parakeet-rs package (https://github.com/altunenes/parakeet-rs) which has had a few issues running models with CoreML (unrelated to the linked post), e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/issues/26355
