Maybe I will put in some mechanism to prevent that but for now I just want to see if people could find it useful. I also have the code open source and will write tutorials for people to put up their own instance as well
Would love to locally host this, do you have a source?

#12I imagine future models will allow the user to input some context to disambiguate. Like if I could give it the audio along with the context "Seattle Fire Department and EMS radio traffic", it would bias towards the type of things you'd likely hear on such a channel.

I am just paying for a somewhat expensive server and I love how it's really fast but also I have a lot of free GPU time so might as well let others use it too lol. It's an experiment to see if people will use it productively or if someone will abuse it and ruin it for others lol
someone will abuse it and ruin it for others

#16I recently tried Whisper to transcribe our local Seattle Fire Department radio scanner -- unfortunately it was not reliable enough for my use case, e.g. "adult male hit by car" gets transcribed as "don't mail it by car". I imagine future models will allow the user to input some context to disambiguate.

But, for me, the English model works really well. Using the 'large' model works about perfectly for me, I can't think of anything I thought the large model got too badly wrong, is that the model you tried?

I (used to) use simonsaysai.com to generate subtitles and they had the functionality to input specialized vocabulary, so I suppose it's possible in some sense but I don't know how it would work with Whisper, something to ask on their Github if nobody else has yet I suppose. But, for me, the English model works really well. Using the 'large' model works about perfectly for me, I can't think of anything I thought the l…

#20Also, labels’ [for] attributes are all "file" instead of "language" and "model", so all labels trigger the file selection dialog on click :-)
