- What it is
- The README of Buzz, a free, MIT-licensed desktop app for transcribing audio offline with OpenAI's Whisper. Its features list covers file transcription, live transcription from a microphone, export formats and the backends it uses.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the app's own author, so it describes what the project claims to do, not independent test results. Feature lists do not show accuracy or speed on a given computer.
Facts taken from this source
- Buzz's README lists live realtime transcription from a microphone among its features, alongside transcription of audio and video files and YouTube links.
