Whisper (2022) by OpenAI

The speech model that made local transcription better than most cloud APIs.

ASR weights you can run in the kitchen.

Whisper's weights, then whisper.cpp and faster-whisper, turned meeting notes and HA voice into something that never leaves the machine.

Opened local speech-to-text as a solved hobby.

Filed notes

  • Robust multilingual ASR
  • Open weights
