Whisper
Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision
OpenAI Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multitasking model that can perform multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, and language identification. A Transformer sequence-to-sequence model is trained on various speech processing tasks, including multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, spoken language identification, and voice activity detection. These tasks are jointly represented as a sequence of tokens to be predicted by the decoder, allowing a single model to replace many stages of a traditional speech-processing pipeline. The multitask training format uses a set of special tokens that serve as task specifiers or classification targets. -

Handy STT
A free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application
Handy is a free, open-source, offline speech-to-text application built for privacy, accessibility, and extensibility. Developed using Tauri (Rust + React/TypeScript), it runs natively across Windows, macOS, and Linux while performing local speech recognition without sending any audio to cloud servers. Handy allows users to start transcription instantly using a configurable keyboard shortcut—press to record, release to transcribe—and automatically pastes the resulting text into any active text field. Its backend leverages OpenAI’s Whisper models for GPU-accelerated speech recognition and Parakeet V3 for efficient CPU-only transcription with automatic language detection. To further refine accuracy and responsiveness, Handy integrates Silero’s Voice Activity Detection (VAD) for silence filtering, ensuring only speech segments are processed. -

Whisper Batch Transcriber
Unlimited, private and free Speech-To-Text program
## About: Automatically transcribe all of your voice recordings into clean, organized, neat text files. It's free, fully automated, unlimited, using state-of-the-art speech-to-text technology. Works 100% offline on your computer, privately and locally. ## Usecases: Convert speeches, podcasts, webinars, monologues, storytellings and other audio speech into a formatted .txt file. One sentence per new line. ## Notes: - Its 2GB in size and requires 2-6GB of GPU VRAM too. (basically you need atleast a mid-range gaming PC to use this.) - Its fairly slow to start (10min) and transcribe, this is normal behavior. - Includes a python installer to install Python on your computer so you can directly run the 'whisper_transcriber.py' file like you would an .exe by double-clicking it. (I did this because compiling to exe made it slower) - I made it as easy as possible for a layperson to use, so despite its crude looks, its as good as a GUI application experience. Enjoy freedom! -

App in java for chatting to a generative A.I. (involving tts and stt)
Java application for chatting to generative AI Llama3. * The user can speak into the microphone (speechToText), edit the recognized text and send it to the AI. * The AI responds and the server returns that response in real time, and the sentences converted to audio (textToSpeech), and the application broadcasts them through the speaker. The application is prepared so that only one user occupies the server's resources, so if the server is busy, in theory it will not let you connect. There is a demo video that shows how it works: https://frojasg1.com:8443/resource_counter/resourceCounter?operation=countAndForward&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffrojasg1.com%2Fdemos%2Faplicaciones%2Fchat%2F20240815.Demo.Chat.mp4%3Forigin%3Dsourceforge&origin=web -
