Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Vibe Transcribe is praised for its transcription accuracy, ease of setup, and open-source status, especially on Linux and MacOS. Users appreciate its privacy and offline operation. Some encounter setup or compatibility issues, particularly on Windows, and there are occasional struggles with certain accents. Vibe relies on Whisper in the backend, and one comment notes concerns about publisher transparency. Internet audio integration is currently lacking.

A brilliant transcription tool. You do need to download a model such as Whisper from HuggingFace, but once you’ve done that, it’s incredibly easy to use. From what I’ve noticed whilst using it, it takes roughly one minute to transcribe one minute of audio. This will no doubt depend on your computer’s performance, but for a computer bought in 2023, I think the performance is pretty good.

Works great on windows 11. I found out that pause button suites perfect to start the record.

It is listed as international origin, but it is probably Israeli. The names of the three publishers for the app are: Kiryat Arba, Yaakov Kolani, Yaakov Kolan and their Discord server has an only Hebrew channel.

Not saying it's suspicious since I didn't check the code, but this should be listed and corrected for everyone to know before.

I couldn't get it to work. Transcriptions end with this: failed to send load_model request to sona after 3 attempts

Would have been an enthusiastic five star review after Vibe accurately transcribed a common English name from a New Zealand accent.

Hilariously, tho, when the same interview source spelled out the same name, Vibe ignored its own accuracy and decided that Len would become Lynn, and Salmon would become, um, a word that sounds a lot like seamen.

So yeah, kiwi accents can be difficult to follow for AI (and humans), and yes, sure mine may be a minority experience.

But two stars off to indicate - use with caution - especially for those outside AI accent norms.

What is Vibe Transcribe?

Vibe is an auto transcription service that utilizes local language learning models (LLMs) or artificial intelligence to provide transcriptions for a wide range of languages. The service prioritizes user privacy by offering fully offline transcription, ensuring that no data ever leaves the user's device. The user-friendly design allows for seamless transcribing of audio and video files, with the added functionality of batch transcribing multiple files at once.

Vibe supports various file formats such as SRT, VTT, TXT, HTML, PDF, and JSON. The real-time preview feature enables users to view transcriptions as they are being processed. Additionally, Vibe offers translation to English from any supported language and direct printing of transcripts to any printer.

The service is optimized for CPU and GPU usage on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. Advanced users can customize models via settings and use model arguments for more nuanced transcriptions. Vibe also supports transcribing system audio and microphone inputs, as well as CLI support for command line interface usage.
