Full Changelog: latest...v2.0.0

v1.3-CPU

This release should work for any version of Windows 7 and up. It runs using only the CPU and includes all the .net it needs so you don't have to worry about installing the .net 8 runtimes etc. It also comes with the base whisper model that should be good enough for 90% of use cases. It can either be installed with the attached installer or you can simply unzip the zip file somewhere and run it using the exe or the launcher that will check for updates automatically.

This release uses ffmpeg to extract the audio so package will be a little bigger as I've bundled it.

Download this zip, unzip somewhere, run WhatHuh.exe OR Download the installer, run that and it will create a shortcut on your desktop and it will keep itself up to date.

v1.3-CUDA

This release can either be installed with the attached installer or you can simply unzip the zip file somewhere and run it using the exe or the launcher that will check for updates automatically.

It does require the CUDA toolkit to be installed. I know that sucks but the speed difference is worth it if you have a relatively recent Nvidia card. This release also includes the base whisper model. You can download the CUDA toolkit here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads You will probably need to reboot after installing. Again, the speed difference makes it worth the hassle.

This release uses ffmpeg for the audio extraction and because it's a pain to install and add to PATH i've just included it in the package along with a few CUDA libs that are needed but sometimes are not found even with the toolkit installed so that is why the filesize is so much bigger.

tldr;
Install cuda toolkit and reboot. (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads)
