Just tried on Linux Mint. It's free, and is available for purchase on Mac if one so desires. Otherwise, it is FOSS. Works really well so far, best local and free audio transcription tool I've ever used so far.

What is Buzz Captions?

Buzz Captions is an offline audio transcription and translation tool powered by OpenAI's Whisper model.

The software also enables live transcription and translation from a computer's microphones for over 90 supported languages.
