WhisperScript, an Electron desktop app GUI for Whisper

[jonathgh]

Thanks to the work of @ggerganov, @kai-shimada and I were able to implement Whisper in a desktop app built with the Electron framework. The app runs on both Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows. You can download it here: Whisperscript

Currently, our features in Version 2 include:

• Runs on MacOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows (x64, 10+), with GPU acceleration support for Metal and Nvidia GPUs.

• 👨‍🦰 Speaker Separation: Automatically detect who spoke what, and when. Allows for a manually correcting when necessary.

• 📊 Subtitle Metrics PanelWorkflowUX: Monitor subtitle quality per segment (Characters per Second (CPS), Words Per Minute (WPM), Word Count, Segment Duration) with customizable thresholds for ideal readability and pacing.

• ⌨️ Quick Shortcuts: fly through edits with the keyboard shortcuts for trimming, nudging, splitting segments.

• ✨ Custom Models: Fine-tuned models in German, English, Hebrew. More coming soon (Norwegian, Wolof, Korean, etc.) Contact us if there's a model you would like to integrate into WhisperScript.

• 🎥 Video Viewer Support : Now transcribe directly from video files in formats like MOV, MP4, and MKV, and view the files in the new video player, streamlining the workflow for video and subtitle creators. Now also side-by-side with the transcript

• 🔍 Search & Replace : Make changes across the entire transcript and find specific segments in the transcript faster.

• Merge Segments by Sentence: Combine segments seamlessly by sentence, available in Edit > Merge Segments by Sentence, for a cleaner transcript flow.

• 📌 Bookmarks : Mark key points in your transcripts for easier reference and navigation.

• 🚀 Large v3 Turbo Model Support : Experience the speed of Large V3 Turbo—twice as fast as the original Large V3 model and comparable to Distill Whisper speeds.

• 📄Expanded Export Options : Export transcripts to HTML, JSON, PDF, Word, and RTF, enabling more flexibility in sharing and documentation.

• ⚡Super Fast and Responsive : We’ve completely rebuilt WhisperScript for speed and stability. With a fresh visual update, the app is now more responsive and intuitive to use.

Exciting news! We're back with an impactful update to improve your transcription experience, making it more efficient for language learners, subtitle creators, interview analysts, or those combing through their media libraries. We're introducing WhisperScript v1.3.4, and here's what's new:

New in WhisperScript v1.3.4:

• Transcription Settings Window 🪟: Now you can view and modify imported files, limit the number of characters per segment, and translate any language to English right within the window! Currently we are supporting only any-to-English translation.
• Limit number of characters per Segment: customize subtitles by limiting the length of produced segments.
• Initial Prompting 🪄: control the output of WhisperScript to add domain-specific vocabulary, example formatting and selecting language variants (e.g. Simplified vs. Traditional Chinese).
• Auto-Updater 🌟: Always stay up to date with the latest features.
• Find & Replace All 🔍: Easily replace certain words, names, or abbreviations in the transcript.
• Model download manager: Save space and time - download multiple models in parallel, and set a custom folder to store the models (e.g. on an external drive).
• Merge segments: Combine related segments by sentence.
• AAC Audio Format Support: Support for more audio formats.
• Paste Command : Transcribe files from the clipboard right onto the WhisperScript window.
• New Transcript Export Options: Quickly output the current transcript, current selection, audio clips, document files, SRT or Anki APKG (for language learners) or current bookmarks in the new export window!
• Beta Channel Updates: subscribe to the Beta channel within the app to get the cutting-edge features.

These features are available to Pro Users, but Lite Users will also get several UI improvements and bug fixes:

• English Only Models: for faster, more accurate transcriptions if you are only working in English.
• Status Bar: displays information about the model and language used to transcribe each transcript, access settings and re-transcribe button.
• Re-transcribe button: to re-do transcription without having to leave the app.
