What I built

Choose an audio file and set the Whisper model, batch size, and language to transcribe it into text. This Python tool runs transcription from a Tkinter interface, displays progress and results, and lets you copy the text to the clipboard.

History

  1. Transcription on one screen

    Combined audio file selection, model, batch size, and language settings, results, and clipboard copying in a Tkinter GUI.

  2. Model loading and execution status

    Ran transcription on a separate thread and displayed model loading, input errors, and progress in the interface.

  3. Apple Silicon setup guidance

    Documented model and batch-size reference values for different chips and memory capacities, along with memory cautions for excessive settings, in the README.
