Progress on this can be seen at [v4 branch](https://github.com/pluja/whishper/tree/v4). Consequently, this branch will not receive any new releases or updates. **Whishper** is an open-source, 100% local audio transcription and subtitling suite with a full-featured web UI. ## Features - [x] 🗣️ **Transcribe any media** to text: audio, video, etc. - Transcribe from URLs (any source supported by yt-dlp). - Upload a file to transcribe. - [x] 📥 **Download transcriptions in many formats**: TXT, JSON, VTT, SRT or copy the raw text to your clipboard. - [x] 🌐 **Translate your transcriptions** to any language supported by [Libretranslate](https://libretranslate.com). - [x] ✍️ **Powerful subtitle editor** so you don't need to leave the UI! - Transcription highlighting based on media position. - CPS (Characters per second) warnings. - Segment splitting. - Segment insertion. - Subtitle language selection. - [x] 🏠 **100% Local**: transcription, translation and subtitle edition happen 100% on your machine (can even work offline!). - [x] 🚀 **Fast**: uses FasterWhisper as the Whisper backend: get much faster transcription times on CPU! - [x] 👍 **Quick and easy setup**: use the quick start script, or run through a few steps! - [x] 🔥 **GPU support**: use your NVIDIA GPU to get even faster transcription times! - [x] 🐎 **CPU support**: no GPU? No problem! Whishper can run on CPU too. ### Roadmap - [ ] Local folder as media input ([#15](https://github.com/pluja/whishper/issues/15)). - [ ] Full-text search all transcriptions. - [ ] User authentication. - [ ] Audio recording from the browser. - [ ] Add [insanely-fast-whisper](https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/insanely-fast-whisper) as an optional backend ([#53](https://github.com/pluja/whishper/issues/53)). - [x] ~~Support for GPU acceleration.~~ - [ ] Non NVIDIA GPU support. Is it possible with faster-whisper? - [ ] Can we do something with [seamless_communication](https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication)? ## Project structure Whishper is a collection of pieces that work together. The three main pieces are: - Transcription-API: This is the API that enables running Faster-Whisper. You can find it in the `transcription-api` folder. - Whishper-Backend: This is the backend that coordinates frontend calls, database, and tasks. You can find it in `backend` folder. - Whishper-Frontend: This is the frontend (web UI) of the application. You can find it in `frontend` folder. - Translation (3rd party): This is the libretranslate container that is used for translating subtitles. - MongoDB (3rd party): This is the database that stores all the information about your transcriptions. - Nginx (3rd party): This is the proxy that allows running everything from a single domain. ### Contributing Contributions are welcome!
