Yeah, there is a websocket connection and when the transcription is done it will update the frontend with the links to .srt, .vtt and .txt file downloads
Thanks. Does the queue position update through the websocket too?

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…
Yes, the problem is that the radio chatter is just very, very low quality, for a lot of words your brain just needs to know the context to fill in the gaps due to radio static and such. Even as a human some parts are unintelligible.
I 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. Like if I could give it the audio along with the context "Seattle Fire Department and EMS radio traffic", it would b…
Should this have the “Show HN” tag? Also, labels’ [for] attributes are all "file" instead of "language" and "model", so all labels trigger the file selection dialog on click :-) UPD: https://github.com/mayeaux/generate-subtitles/pull/1

Yeah it does, I think there's a bug with it for saying what your position is, but when the others are done it will start correctly even if the frontend shows like position -2 or something. There's 2 uploads in the queue atm so not bad

why did you want to transcribe it? What would you do with the output?
I'd need to:
- Wait for a MED6 or AID response code to come across the live event stream
- Listen to the radio chatter to see if it was a pedestrian getting hit (use GPT3 on the transcription to determine if the text was about a ped/cyclist getting hit)
- Maybe also correlate to SPD logging a 'mvc with injuries' at the same location

It would be more useful if one could directly paste links to videos online as well. But yeah, in general this is extremely useful. I'm looking forward to video site integration. Would be great if youtube could finally retire their horrible auto caption function for something that actually works. Being able to easily watch media in different languages from around the world will be an absolute game changer.
I also plan to support automatic language translation I have that working locally already actually, and I work for one of the big alt-video platforms and rumour has it that I will be shipping this feature for them soon (auto transcription with auto translated subtitles)

Thanks a lot for this. I've wanted to test whisper's usefulness for vintage movie subtitling projects, but haven't had such a straightforward, preconfigured opportunity. I promise I'll beat the subs into some sort of shape as long as the timings are at least vaguely alright, and not waste your money.

I appreciate your initiative!
Thanks! Whisper is a lot of fun but it didn't take long before I wanted to build a frontend. And then I built something that I think came out super nice so why not share it with people. I used to pay $100/month for transcriptions and this works a lot better for me so might as well open-source transcription if I can, but I give all the credit to Whisper that module they put out is amazing
Just given your site a try, nicely done. One feedback - would be great to have a progress indicator on the processing page, I have no idea what stage it's at or how much longer I need to wait.
