This repository is an offline speech-to-text application that uses the faster-whisper model to transcribe audio and video files into text, JSON, or SRT formats. It provides a web interface built with LayUI and a REST API (including an OpenAI-compatible endpoint) for easy integration. The application supports CPU and CUDA acceleration, caches loaded models for efficiency, and handles media conversion via FFmpeg. The architecture consists of a Flask web server served by gevent, with a background thread processing transcription tasks from a queue. Configuration is managed via an INI file, and utilities for FFmpeg execution, update checking, and browser launching are encapsulated in a helper module. The model caching mechanism avoids reloading large models for multiple requests, improving performance in a server setting.
