Is MacWhisper a $60 GUI for a Python script that just runs the model?
- trenchpilgrim 1y ago> Is MacWhisper a $60 GUI for a Python script that just runs the model? Yes, a large genre of MacOS apps are "Native GUI wrappers around OSS scripts"
- jimbokun 1y agoA lot of MacOS itself is this. Which is incredibly value. The OSS script has zero value to someone who doesn't know it exists or doesn't understand how to run it.
- simonw 1y agoThere's also a free version that just uses Whisper. I recommend giving it a go, it's a very well constructed GUI wrapper. I use it multiple times a week, and I've run Whisper on my machine in other less convenient ways in the past.
