openai whisper

Lets use some ai magic to transcribe audio in the command line. simple enough with whisper https://github.com/openai/whisper

whisper audiofile.m4a --language English --model medium and then there is the python version which is oktoo

import whisper

model = whisper.load_model("base")
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
print(result["text"])

I have had pretty good results with it but i think that i like the ui better for a simple macos app called whisper transcription. there is a paid tier but the free one is good enough for me. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whisper-transcription/id1668083311?mt=12 It handles all of my audio notes just fine and it is a local thing that I can run from any laptop.
