V0.5 Open Local Audio Scribe - Olas Windows x64
Major performance improvements in this version reworked constricting params to lead that lead to a choke point in the transcription in the past build infering whether to rework whole recapture section for better performance in future updates
Requirements
Windows 10 1809 or newer (Windows 11 recommended)
A working audio output device (WASAPI)
Quick start
Double-click OLAS.bat
Play audio through your default output device
The window will transcribe what you hear
What it does
OLAS listens to whatever your system plays (WASAPI loopback) and
transcribes it locally using Moonshine. No internet needed after
first launch. Supports English and Spanish by default.
Troubleshooting
"Could not initialize audio"
Your system has no WASAPI output device. Check Windows
Settings -> System -> Sound.
"Failed to initialise Moonshine"
Model files are missing. Ensure the models\ folder sits next
to olas_win.exe with base-en\ and base-es\ subfolders.
Nothing appears when audio is playing
Make sure audio is playing through the DEFAULT output device.
Loopback captures that device, not the microphone.
