Transcribe audio and video on your own device with offline Whisper and Parakeet models
Vibe is a desktop app that transcribes audio and video right on your device. Transcription runs fully offline, and the project states that no data ever leaves your device.
It helps anyone who needs transcripts, subtitles or captions in many languages. It can transcribe files in batches, system audio or microphone input, and audio from popular websites. A realtime preview is included, and models can be customized through the settings.
