Vibe Logo

Why is offline transcription needed?

Imagine: you've recorded an important interview, but the internet is unavailable. Or you're working with confidential data that cannot be uploaded to the cloud. This is exactly why Vibe was created — a desktop application for transcribing audio and video right on your device.

What can Vibe do?

This OpenAI Whisper-based project offers:

  • Complete privacy — all processing happens locally
  • Support for 100+ languages — from English to rare dialects
  • Format flexibility — export to SRT, VTT, TXT, PDF and more
  • Batch processing — transcribe multiple files at once

What really impresses:

  • Transcription directly from YouTube and other platforms
  • Real-time microphone input
  • GPU support for faster processing

Technical features

Vibe is built on:

  • Tauri — for creating cross-platform applications
  • Whisper.cpp — optimized version of the OpenAI model
  • FFmpeg — multimedia processing

The application is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, with optimization for different GPUs.

Who will find it useful?

  • Journalists — quick interview transcription
  • Researchers — audio data analysis
  • Videomakers — subtitle creation
  • Lawyers and doctors — working with confidential recordings

How to get started?

  1. Download the app from the official website
  2. Select a file or paste a video link
  3. Get your ready transcription in minutes

The project is actively developing — you can participate in translation or development. And if you like Vibe, don't forget to star it on GitHub!
