Scribers’ iCloud system automatically backs up each transcription and organizes them in a three-pane folder view—somewhat inspired by Bars’ layout. This structure allows a surprising degree of customization for all your data needs, especially when transcribing interviews. It would probably make for a very comfortable workflow here

No, not yet! That will definitely be included in the next update next month.

If ever there were a reason to upgrade!
But thats a fair point- I drank the Liquid Glass Kool-Aid----- I'll aim more compatibility the next upgrade

I haven't test that specific edge case, I'm sorry. I tested 2 langue's having a normal conversation and that worked fine- "Auto or English" handle multiple lan the best

That my friend, is just one of the annoying bottlenecks, that inspired me to do this
Also that color is color(display-p3 .768627 .031373 .031373 / 1)- It is actually technically redder than red actually is

Ah, I think you're asking if a user can, when wanting timestamps, if they can further edit the output to be by word?
Currently set around each sentence (2-5s) --- But that is absolutely doable and that’s a great idea - On the next update (~3-4wks) I’ll definitely include the ability to control that.

Whisper will fail > 99%* (edit, most of the time) of the time at lengths over 90 minutes and fairly high over one hour.

Thanks. An update that will add functionality that allows a user to give it a link that contains web video, will do dynamic link discovery (with Safari extension, and pull in the video automatically (M3U8 discover and retrieval) -- Lots of online lecture videos that need transcription.
I will include better version support (probably to os 13).

MacWhisper crashes at about an hour of context.
This uses, smart, invisible regex in the text generation pipe. Makes this fast. + bonus, there is no context limit

Hey HN! Built this because I was tired of waiting hours for transcription
services and didn't want to upload sensitive recordings to the cloud.
Real metrics from my M1 Max: 4.5hr video file transcribed in 3 minutes 32
seconds. Works completely offline.
First 5 HN users who click the button on the page get it free. Literally promo code straight to the app sore
Key differences vs Rev/Otter:
- No 2-hour file limits (handles any length)
- Timecodes stay accurate on long files (no drift from chunking)
- Supports MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, M4A, FLAC
- Exports to SRT, VTT, JSON, PDF, DOCX, CSV, Markdown
Built for macOS. Happy to answer questions!
