It seems that both use / leverage pyannote. I wonder if the whisperX pipeline can be combined with DiCoW-v2.

Yes, this is exactly where I am going. The LLM also has an advantage, because you can give it the context of the audio (e.g. "this is an audio transcript from a radio show about etc. etc."). I can foresee this working for a future whisper-like model as well.

There are two ways to parse your first sentence. Are you saying that you used whisperX and it doesn't do well with diarization? Because I am curious of alternative ways of doing that.

It seems to be pre-built on github, in releases.

I use whisperfile[1] directly. The whisper-large-v3 model seems good with non-English transcription, which is my main use-case.

I am also eyeing whisperX[2], because I want to play some more with speaker diarization.

Your use-case seems to be batch transcription, so I'd suggest you go ahead and just use whisperfile, it should work well on an M4 mini, and it also has an HTTP API if you just start it without arguments.

If you want more interactivity, I have been using Vibe[3] as an open-source replacement of SuperWhisper[4], but VoiceInk from a sibling comment seems better.

Aside: It seems that so many of the mentioned projects use whisper at the core, that it would be interesting to explicitly mark the projects that don't use whisper, so we can have a real fundamental comparison.

There was an article around here about how battery life actually improves if you ultra-fast charge the battery when you make it.

Maybe it will deteriorate it, but it seems that the effect that different charge types have on batteries may not be complete yet.

I have to add https://nullprogram.com, just because of the care the author took to have it work better in lynx[1]:

    Just in case you haven’t tried it, the blog also works really well with terminal-based browsers, such as Lynx and ELinks. Go ahead and give it a shot. The header that normally appears at the top of the page is actually at the bottom of the HTML document structure. It’s out of the way for browsers that ignore CSS.
