Maybe it isn't perfectly clear, but OTranscribe isn't an automatic speech-to-text tool, but instead, a UI for assisting in manual transcribing.
So no AI here, folks.

Re: OTranscribe: A free and open tool for transcribing audio interviews
#12I needed to do this this week (transcribe an interview with multiple speakers) and used https://github.com/MahmoudAshraf97/whisper-diarization Worked excellent. It generates both a file that just contains a line per uninterrupted speaker speech prefixed with the speaker number, as well as a file with timestamps which I believe would be used as subtitles.
I had better success with whisperx, as whisper-dia does sometimes have weird issues I couldn't resolve: https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX
iirc whisper-diarization uses whisperx under the hood.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t dived much into this as I just needed something transcribed quickly, but when I was looking at WhisperX I couldn’t find a CLI that would just out of the box give me a text file with a line per speaker statement (not per word).

#16Any new language support in the future? Fingers crossed for japanese
Am I missing something?. For what I checked it supports every language, as is yourself the one transcribing by hand. This is just an UI to watch the video or audio while you're typing it.

The web app saves an offline copy for use the first time you open it.
