"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.

Whisper will fail > 99%* (edit, most of the time) of the time at lengths over 90 minutes and fairly high over one hour.

This is absolutely not my experience. I regularly (weekly at least) use whisper for 90-120 minutes pieces of content and only rarely have problems.

My eyes, my eyes! What is this red colour? Cool project, I am using ChatGPT for recording/summarising meetings but the limit there is 2 hours

That my friend, is just one of the annoying bottlenecks, that inspired me to do this

Also that color is color(display-p3 .768627 .031373 .031373 / 1)- It is actually technically redder than red actually is

So, can it handle multiple languages in one video, or do you need to segment the different languages using LID first? This has been a thorny issue for people working in multilingual audio (there are at least two or three of us).

I haven't test that specific edge case, I'm sorry. I tested 2 langue's having a normal conversation and that worked fine- "Auto or English" handle multiple lan the best

[stub for offtopicness]

Seems like a great app, but I have to ask: https://scriberpro.cc/about/ Are you trolling people with this page's design? Unreadable colors AND a wobble effect? :D

I honestly thought it would be nothing more than a fun little easter egg, Red was a bold choice I admit. ! I will making a css update soon

Also, disabling scrolling and using swipe for sections instead _at a font size that causes text to overflow_, depending on phone screen size, meaning a bunch of the site is _literally_ unreadable, since it's off the screen with no way to get there.

Yours isn't OSS, meaning I have no idea what I'm running

OSS would be incredibly slow, also seems like overkill for this use case

I suspect, from the responses of the creator here, that this app they are selling is likely violating a number of open source licenses…
