A Python CLI app that transcribes local audio/video files or URLs (YouTube, Rumble, etc.) using multiple Whisper backends with automatic device routing and isolated per-backend environments. It outputs text, SRT/VTT subtitles, JSON, and speaker-diarized transcripts.
Use cases
- transcribe a youtube video to text
- generate srt subtitles from an mp4
- convert a lecture recording into a transcript
- get a speaker-diarized transcript of a podcast
- run whisper locally on apple silicon for privacy
- transcribe audio files without installing cuda/torch manually
When to choose
- you want a one-command transcription tool that works across mac, windows, and linux
- you need multiple whisper backends (openai-whisper, whisperx, mlx, insanely-fast-whisper) without dependency conflicts
- you want subtitle files plus speaker attribution from local files or URLs
When to avoid
- you need a hosted API or web UI rather than a local CLI
- you need real-time streaming transcription
- you only want a library to embed in another Python app rather than a standalone tool
