udmrzn · x · 2026-09-20
Developer kzkhykw open-sourced AlwaysWhisper, a fully local transcription tool:
- Takes a video/audio file and returns a video with captions burned in plus a reusable SRT file
- Whisper-based word-level timestamps, Japanese-optimized segmentation, typewriter-style caption rendering, and automatic AV QA checks
- Live microphone captions appear in a notch-integrated Dynamic Island on Apple Silicon Macs
- Everything runs on your machine by default (optional hosted backend), so no data leaves your device
A solid option for creators who want unlimited transcription without API costs or privacy concerns.
