Hi folks, I’m in a bit of a personal crisis currently and need to quickly find a piece of speech transcription software that works on Linux and does not require a significant time investment to set up and can help me transcribe a number of audio clips <15 min. each.
- Can someone recommend a program that can transcribe some audio recordings for me and is relatively simple to set up and use?
- Do such programs need a GPU to run effectively? I’m running a Dell XPS 9370 laptop which only has internal graphics.
My backup plan is to listen and transcribe by hand, so recommendations of a program that will allow me to self-transcribe by typing while listening at a reduced rate are also appreciated.
- If any experienced transcribers are reading this, have you found that your pedals worked well with Linux?
Normally I would try out all the different programs and do more than the small number of searches I’ve done, but my timeline doesn’t allow time for to build a cluster of custom-coded transcription bots running gentoo on hand-soldered hardware.
My environment is EndeavorOS running on a Dell XPS 9370,internet is over Wifi, with no external dongles or anything currently hooked up.
Whisper worked for me. I’ll have to go back through and tag speakers and fox a few spots but you guys have saved me 80-90% of the work. Thank you.
