Hello #Fediverse @academicchatter
I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.

I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.

Any suggestions?

@alx @academicchatter @phdstudents OBS plus localvocal might be a potential starting point, if your interviews are being held online. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/localvocal-local-live-captions-translation-on-the-go.168903/
