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)

- 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.

Les deux sauvageonnes m’ont réveillée en me sautant dessus, c’est un peu rude. Mais c’est pas grave car on est dimanche, qu’il fait beau et que je peux faire une sieste plus tard. Bonne journée à vous #Willow #Whisper

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.

À plus de six mois, comment j’apprends à mes jolies princesses à rester sages pour que je leur coupe les griffes? Je n’ai jamais fait ça et me résous finalement à m’y mettre. Evidemment qu’elles ne sont pas d’accord. #Whisper #Willow #MastoChat

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.
