openai-whisper

by Unknown v1.0.0

Local speech-to-text with the Whisper CLI (no API key).

What It Does

Transcribes audio files to text locally using the OpenAI Whisper CLI tool. Supports various audio formats, models, and output formats.

When To Use

When you need to transcribe audio files locally without an API key, translate audio, or generate subtitles. Ideal for privacy-sensitive data or offline use.

Inputs

Audio file path, Whisper model size (e.g., tiny, base, small, medium, large), output format (e.g., txt, srt, vtt), and output directory.

Outputs

Text transcription of the audio file in the specified format and directory.

Limitations

Transcription accuracy depends on the selected Whisper model size and audio quality. Larger models provide better accuracy but require more computational resources. Initial model download can take time depending on network speed.
