Show HN: Scriber Pro – Offline AI transcription for macOS
scriberpro.ccThat was back in 2023. I assume things work better now.
Also the Whisper model doesn't really have a context window, it already segments the audio with a certain amount of overlap between the chunks, I really have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.
Would also love to hear what you mean by “smart invisible regex,” sounds like AI slop to me.
I've never heard a regex person speak this way of a regex.
Please tell me you didn't vibecode the regex... one of the areas it's still not good at
Neither whisper nor MacWhisper have any context limit
This is not true. (I've been a MacWhisper user since 2023. I have two bugs during that time, which the author addressed quickly.)
I will include better version support (probably to os 13).
But thats a fair point- I drank the Liquid Glass Kool-Aid----- I'll aim more compatibility the next upgrade
I have launched apps focused on a new feature in the latest OS and regretted it. The # of people who have the latest OS is much smaller than the full install base for much longer than I thought. As a result, my marketing conversion was unnaturally low - people who liked the app idea but couldn't install because they had the wrong OS. This causes two problems: potential users I activated but couldn't convert and this signal gets internalized by the App Store, pushing down future impressions.
Now I always have a fallback implementation of the feature so I can target the prior OS. Both Mac and iOS.
For example, could it support a video that included spoken Latin, ancient Greek, German, and Italian?
You haven’t shared any architectural details. What model? What size? How can anyone be sure that what you’re building is truly offline?
I haven't tried a 4+ hour video with MacWhisper but I presume that would work the same.
Cool product, but it would be better if you stopped spreading misinformation to support it.
I don’t see this sort of thing, has the page changed? Edit: the comments here…
The drop shadow on the pages does make it deeply unpleasant to read.
Cool project, I am using ChatGPT for recording/summarising meetings but the limit there is 2 hours
Also that color is color(display-p3 .768627 .031373 .031373 / 1)- It is actually technically redder than red actually is
Typically white text works better on red.
Green, yellow, red or whatever hue is fine, as long as it's dark or light enough. Colorblind and non-colorblind people can see how dark or light a color is (luminance), but they might not agree on the hue. That's why WCAG contrast checks require luminance contrast and not hue contrast.
It's best to use a contrast checker because it's not always intuitive how dark or light a color is e.g. yellow and lime are almost as light as white.
https://scriberpro.cc/about/ Are you trolling people with this page's design? Unreadable colors AND a wobble effect? :D
The first thought I had when it loaded was, "Did we forget how to make webpages?"
Sorry. I'm sure the software is great, but yeah.
Oh I see title ate your h2 text. Thats no good. Thanks for showing me
I have change the bg color
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the "Speaker Detection" feature release. ;)
It even supports speaker differentiation/recognition and is open source on mac/windows/linux;
Actually I would be happy if it could just identify occurrences (timestamps) of a specific word or a small set of words.
I’m glad all the feedback so far has been very positive. Thanks everyone !
Oh and it supports MacOs15.6 now too
What's the stack, if I may ask? (I believe Whisper-X does the diarization thing)
I'm using the browser built in transcription service plus downloading a model and running it via webgpu. No login. At the end of your meeting, you get a zip file with the audio, transcript and summary.
The elapsed-time timestamps didn't correlate well with other data sources. I figured it was a mistake on my end, and just brushed it off.
