That's very cool, I've been looking for a fully offline transcription app for quite a while. Thanks for building this! And thanks so much for providing an "import audio file" function, not just "record from mic" -- transcribing voice notes from various messenger apps is my main use case here.

Do you have an idea about supporting languages other than English?


Thank you, glad you like it!

The average model and upwards should support all languages from the whisper models by default.

I haven't tested them all so I'm unsure of the quality, however it should in theory support the following:

---

Albanian

Amharic

Arabic

Armenian

Assamese

Azerbaijani

Bashkir

Basque

Belarusian

Bengali

Bosnian

Breton

Bulgarian

Cantonese

Catalan

Chinese

Croatian

Czech

Danish

Dutch

English

Estonian

Faroese

Finnish

French

Galician

Georgian

German

Greek

Gujarati

Haitian creole

Hausa

Hawaiian

Hebrew

Hindi

Hungarian

Icelandic

Indonesian

Italian

Japanese

Javanese

Kannada

Kazakh

Khmer

Korean

Lao

Latvian

Lingala

Luxembourgish

Macedonian

Malagasy

Maltese

Maori

Marathi

Mongolian

Myanmar

Nepali

Norwegian

Nynorsk

Russian

Sanskrit

Serbian

Shona

Sindhi

Apologies for the formatting, not sure how to make it look nice in the comment.

A new bugfix update for the "Translate to English" toggle (which was functionally always set to on) should be available soon, it's just awaiting Play Store approval.


Recently I saw "post grayskull" on twitter, that's now my favourite. ;)


Seconded. The "new releases of authors I've read books from" is one of the things that would give me the most value -- if it actually worked properly, which for me it doesn't, since it only seems to show _some_ random new books from _some_ of "my" authors. Sigh.


Thanks so much, it has been a constant annoyance for me that _sometimes_ Ctrl+F2 just doesn't do anything. It did not occur to me to check if that's a known issue, I just wrote it off as a glitch in the matrix. Your workaround is going to make my daily menu usage go much more smoothly, thanks!


I tend to agree, vagrant offers way better configuration possibilities and flexibility. However, there is one significant benefit: on macOS multipass uses hyperkit/xhyve to run the VM, which in my experience performs _much_ better than virtualbox ("docker for mac" also uses hyperkit). I'd love to see a vagrant hyperkit provider (or even a multipass provider! :-), but sadly have found nothing beyond a few alpha-level sketches so far.


This is true. Virtualbox is a pig pretty much everywhere.

Veertu used to ship Veertu Desktop (using Hypervisor.framework, and able to ship via the App Store) and claimed to be supporting vagrant at some point, but then they changed approach completely and focus purely on virtualising macOS for CI build environments now.

Personally I always use either VMware Fusion or Parallels with vagrant anyway (well unless I'm debugging some weird vagrant/vbox issue for someone else).

It'd be nice to have an actively maintained provider that's backed by the built-in framework, but the only one I'm aware of stopped development 3+ years ago.


Kindle for PC, to funnel ebooks through to calibre (http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/). Even though I'm sceptical of the monopoly-like situation, Amazon still often has the widest range and lowest prices on ebooks.





I've been quite happy with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/curator


Here's a general-purpose JS implementation of a progress bar that achieves a similar visual effect: http://ricostacruz.com/nprogress/
