This is a simple Streamlit UI for OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model. It let's you download and transcribe media from YouTube videos, playlists, or local files. You can then browse, filter, and search through your saved audio files. Feel free to raise an issue for bugs or feature requests or send a PR.

This was built & tested on Python 3.11 but should also work on Python 3.9+ as with the original Whisper repo). You'll need to install ffmpeg on your system. Then, install the requirements with pip.

sudo apt install ffmpeg
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you're using conda, you can create a new environment with the following command:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Note: If you're using a CPU-only machine, your runtime can be sped-up by using quantization implemented by @MicellaneousStuff by swapping out pip install openai-whisper from requirements.txt and replacing it with their fork pip install git+https://github.com/MiscellaneousStuff/whisper.git (See related discussion here - hayabhay#20)

Once you're set up, you can run the app with:

streamlit run app/01_🏠_Home.py

This will open a new tab in your browser with the app. You can then select a YouTube URL or local file & click "Run Whisper" to run the model on the selected media.

Alternatively, you can run the app containerized with Docker via the included docker-compose.yml. Simply run:

docker compose up

Then open up a new tab and navigate to http://localhost:8501/

NOTE: For existing users, this will break the database since absolute paths of files are saved. A future fix will be added to fix this.
