Hey everyone! We are glad to share this transcriber tool that we've been developing and using. We find it very helpful when trying to take long notes in a narrative style. Whisper Transcriber is a free utility program by Methodox that transcribes audio into text using the amazing Whisper model from OpenAI.
This simple tool is for those who need to easily transcribe complex audio with OpenAI's Whisper models. It current supports the official OpenAI API (so no sophisticated setup is needed) - in the future, we plan to support locally deployed Whisper models (which requires a dedicated GPU) as well.
We wish you find it helpful!
Usage
- Register and obtain an OpenAI developer key from OpenAI (See video guide)
- Open Transcriber
- Type your key (If you wish this to be filled automatically, setup an environment variable
OPENAI_API_KEY)
- Select target language: Currently supports English and Chinese
- Start recording or load existing audio files to transcribe!
This software is cross-platform - Linux and Mac version is available on request.
