Live Transcribe
Live Transcribe is a Python package that provides live, real-time transcription based on OpenAI's Whisper. Works offline.
Currently, Live Transcribe supports only PulseAudio as an audio backend.
- optional but highly recommended for low latency Refer to the Pytorch documentation guide to install Pytorch with CUDA support.
pip install live-transcribe
Just run:
python -m live_transcribe
or
live_transcribe
If you want to transcribe from another audio device, than the default, use the --device option, e.g.:
live_transcribe --list-devices
live_transcribe --device "alsa_input.usb-046d_HD_Pro_Webcam_C920_8C0B5B0F-02.analog-stereo
On the first usage, the OpenAI's Whisper model will be downloaded and cached.
See live_transcribe --help for options.
Live Transcribe has the following dependencies:
Python 3.8 or higher
OpenAI-Whisper
PulseAudio
