Building a little whisper thingy

Introducing my Local Transcription App I’m excited to share my new project: Local Transcription App. This lightweight, web-based tool leverages the power of Faster-Whisper and Flask to transform your audio files into accurate, text-based transcriptions—all running locally on your machine. What It Does Local Transcription App allows you to: • Record or upload audio files: Easily upload your audio recordings or even integrate a custom recording interface. • Transcribe with speed and accuracy: Powered by Faster-Whisper, the app converts audio to text using a variety of model sizes to suit your needs. • View and interact with transcriptions: The app not only displays the full transcript but also breaks it down into time-stamped segments, making it simple to review specific portions of your recording. • Copy, download, and share results: With intuitive features like a copy-to-clipboard function (implemented with modern toast notifications), managing your transcribed text is a breeze. Why I Built It As someone who values efficiency and simplicity, I built Local Transcription App to streamline the process of converting spoken words into written text—whether for meeting notes, interviews, or creative projects.
