faster-whisper-GUI

What it does

Wraps the fast Whisper implementations in a PySide6 interface so transcription, speaker diarisation, model selection and the detailed settings all happen in a window rather than a command line. Runs locally. Development stopped in December 2024, so newer models will not be supported, and while the author mirrors weights on a Chinese cloud drive, fetching them from Hugging Face is the more predictable route. Windows. AGPL-3.0.
