A desktop GUI application built with PySide6 for running faster-whisper and whisperX speech-to-text transcription. It lets users transcribe audio and video files into subtitle/text formats with full control over VAD and model parameters, plus in-app model downloading and Demucs support.

Use cases

• transcribe audio files to text with a gui
• generate srt subtitles from video files
• run whisper locally without the command line
• convert mp4 audio to vtt or lrc subtitles
• download and convert faster-whisper models
• use whisperx alignment through a desktop app
• batch transcribe recordings with vad settings

When to choose

• you want a local, offline whisper transcription tool with a graphical interface
• you need fine-grained control over VAD and whisper model parameters
• you want subtitle output in srt, vtt, smi, txt, or lrc formats
• you want to download or convert whisper models inside the app

When to avoid

• you need a headless or server-side transcription pipeline
• you want a simple one-click transcriber without parameter tuning
• you need cloud-based or API transcription services
• you require a web-based interface
