A Python demo application that performs real-time speech-to-text transcription using OpenAI's Whisper model. It records audio continuously in a background thread and concatenates raw bytes across recordings to produce live transcriptions.

Use cases

• transcribe microphone audio to text in real time
• live caption speech as it is spoken
• demo real-time speech recognition with Whisper
• convert spoken audio into text on the fly
• build a live dictation tool with Whisper

When to choose

• you want a simple, minimal real-time Whisper transcription demo
• you need live speech-to-text from a microphone in Python
• you want a starting point to build your own streaming transcription app

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready transcription service with an API or UI
• you require batch transcription of audio files rather than live input
• you need a licensed, maintained product - this repo has no license and is a demo
