I saw @simon's note about this post and I thought it was quite fun. I am already running Whisper on my own hardware and I want to try the post-processing with a local model like Gemma3:27b https://interconnected.org/home/2025/03/20/diane)

Evolution of Home Assistant:

- Controls a dozen switches and plugs
- Automations using Phone locations and time of day
- AddOns! Mosquitto, AdGuard Home and MotionEye/Frigate get installed
- Migrates to beefier server
- Voice and Whisper addons get installed
- Zigbee takes over for switches and plugs

- What's next?

Last night, I gave Whisper a scritch and the fluff dent gave her a bit of a reverse mohawk.

Or perhaps a hint of Gossamer, the hairy monster that chases Bugs Bunny.

I've spent a lot of time recently talking to my computer. Not conversing with it but talking at it... Put another way I'm a born again speech-to-text fanatic. It lowers the barriers to blogging and journalling for me. I wrote about my recent experiences #blogging #stt #journalling #whisper https://brainsteam.co.uk/2025/4/14/voice-input-is-awesome/

Is there any open source app (e.g. via #FDroid for speech transcription on Android? I would like to share audio with this app which then does the transcription offline on my device.

Anything with #Whisper or #CommonVoice models would be great.

HowTo Explains how to install and activate the OpenVINO plug-in in Audacity. This LLM is installed locally on your computer meaning that nothing gets transmitted to a remote servers. After installation, Audacity gains music separation, AI noise suppression, music generation and audio transcription. #Audacity #OpenVino #TTMO #HowTo #Intel #AI #Whisper, #Transcription, #SpeechToText, #MusicGeneration, #NoiseSuppression

Added a thing to generate code through Ollama if you set a flag on the command line.

It's... well, a work in progress.

I get this “easter egg” when using whisper.cpp to transcribe audio:

```
Subtítulos realizados por la comunidad de Amara.org
0:27:19 - 0:27:22
```

That’s not part of the text, but Whisper inserts it at the end of voice transcripts. It’s baked into the AI model because OpenAI trained on movies with community-generated subtitles.

Apparently, it happens often – there's a github ticket filled with anecdotes (pictured): https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/928

Whisper has decided she’d rather not know what the man is doing on the cover of that book.

I've been busy with my #newapp Sussurro - Speech to Text AI this week:

1.1 Tear Down That Wall
I found a pretty ingenious way to fix #Whisper's "wall-of-text", staying true to the ethos of doing everything on device.

1.2 Video & German love
Sussurro now transcribes videos, again without sending data to snooping servers. And it speaks German: Der erste Markt für Sussurro ist Deutschland!

Ich benutze die #OpenSource-Transkriptionssoftware #ATrain von der #TUGraz. Funktioniert beeindruckend super, nur löscht es zwischendrin ganze Passagen aus dem Ergebnis. Ist das eine Frage der Version (1.2.0) oder liegt das am verwendeten #SprachModell von #Whisper? Hat hier noch jemand Erfahrung?

Whisper’s coloration allows her to blend in perfectly with her native environment — chewed- and clawed-up comic book storage boxes.
