You use the word "transcribe" but the page doesn't appear to support that claim? This looks like straightforward STT? Or does it actually support transcription (diarization, etc.)? (Also, the text is completely illegible on your site.)

How does it compare to MacWhisper?

MacWhisper crashes at about an hour of context. This uses, smart, invisible regex in the text generation pipe. Makes this fast. + bonus, there is no context limit

I've done 3+hours with MacWhisper without issue? One downside is the transcription is not real time - can Scriber Pro do realtime?

What languages does this support? Does it support switching between multiple languages in one video? For example, could it support a video that included spoken Latin, ancient Greek, German, and Italian?

I've been using MacWhisper for this, with a huge variety of transcription options and things like speaker detection. It works great for all the 1 hour and shorter videos I've fed it, but does this have more to offer?

I haven't tried a 4+ hour video with MacWhisper but I presume that would work the same.

"Smart, invisible regex" sounds like a lot of bs... could you give a more technical explanation?

Also the Whisper model doesn't really have a context window, it already segments the audio with a certain amount of overlap between the chunks, I really have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.
