Buzz is a cross-platform desktop application that transcribes and translates audio and video offline using OpenAI's Whisper models. It offers a GUI plus CLI, live microphone transcription, speaker identification, and export to TXT, SRT, and VTT.
Use cases

- generate subtitles in srt or vtt format
- transcribe youtube videos
- live transcription from microphone during presentations

When to choose
- you need offline transcription without sending audio to the cloud
- you want a gui plus cli for batch or scripted transcription
