Hi everyone!
A few days ago I released Whishper, a new version of a project I’ve been working for about a year now.
It’s a self-hosted audio transcription suite, you can transcribe audio to text, generate subtitles, translate subtitles and edit them all from one UI and 100% locally (it even works offline).
I hope you like it, check out the website for self-hosting instructions: https://whishper.net
Does this need to connect to openai or does it function fully independently? Its for offline use.
The readme mentions “transcription time on CPU” so it’s probably running locally
No, it’s completely independent, it does not rely on any third-party APIs or anything else. It can function entirely offline once the models have been downloaded.
