Hi everyone!

A few days ago I released Whishper, a new version of a project I've been working for about a year now.

It's a self-hosted audio transcription suite, you can transcribe audio to text, generate subtitles, translate subtitles and edit them all from one UI and 100% locally (it even works offline).

I hope you like it, check out the website for self-hosting instructions: https://whishper.net

how does whisper do transcribing technical documents. like for lawyers, doctors, engineers and what not? or speakers with heavy accents?

Whisper models have a very good WER (word error ratio) for languages like Spanish, English, French... if you use the english-only models it also improves. Check out this page on the docs:
