24 alternatives to BeepThatOut
Hi all, my friend and I have built an AI-powered (whisper) editor for youtubers, podcasters, and video editors, that should cut down manual editing time by a lot. It's 'a bit' more than just a whisper wrapper, because you can configure a lot: - what kind of profanities to filter - add your own words (i.e. 'covid') to prevent demonetization on platforms like youtube - adjust the transcript in the editor like in google docs - readjust the position of each word - use 1000Hz beep, silence, or your own sound and more. You can export your work as audio, video, or as an .xml project for popular…

Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

This is a small project i made years ago and updated to whisper last year, i still use it from time to time and thought it might be useful to others, or just put the idea out there for someone better than me to make a better implementation!

I know there are various tools that are supposed to make this easy, but I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted, so I made this today for fun. The web-based offerings all take forever and seem flaky, and you need to process one video at a time, with no control over the transcription settings. In contrast, my script lets you convert a whole playlist in bulk with full control over everything. It's truly easy to use-- you can clone the repo, install to a venv, and be generating a folder full of high quality transcript text files in under 5 minutes. All you need to do is supply the…

I originally added this to my site to speed up my video editing process. Last year I started a youtube channel and for some of my longer videos it's annoying to rely on youtube or capcut to transcribe when Whisper is open source. Capcut also recently updated their T&Cs to say they own your content if you use their app, so I cancelled my subscription. Another use-case I have is recording my claude prompts as audio, transcribing them, and then pasting them into my terminal. I mostly work on the CLI (claude, ffmpeg, whisper), but I wanted to make a browser version. Not reinventing the wheel…

I was laid off recently and, instead of looking for another job right away, I decided to build something I always wanted: a transcription tool that respects user privacy. Existing transcription tools often require internet connectivity, send your private audio to cloud servers, or lock you into monthly subscriptions. I wanted something different—so I built WhisperBuddy, a privacy-first AI transcription app that runs entirely on your machine. WhisperBuddy uses OpenAI’s Whisper model (see: https://github.com/openai/whisper). While the model may not always deliver the…

Greetings HN! I built Voice Isolate to be the simplest way to enhance any speech recording. After hearing so many videos/podcasts with great content but poor audio I realized not everyone can or wants to invest in a pro mic / studio / editing software but figured something simple should be possible now using AI. There are products that do this like Descript or ElevenLabs but I find they’re overcomplicated for many use cases (full blown app designed for professional podcasters, use a convoluted credit system, etc.). As a solo dev I wasn’t sure this was possible to do well but I…

A while back, I got stuck in subtitle hell. All I wanted was a simple way to auto-generate captions for my videos—no paywalls, no upload limits, no “surprise, now you need a subscription” popups. As a broke small creator and podcaster, I wasn’t about to drop a pile of cash on tools that watermark my stuff and send my files who-knows-where. So I built my own. I made it free, offline-first and available for Mac (Apple Silicon). Just drag in your video, and it spits out clean, accurate subtitles using the local OpenAI’s Whisper model you choose. What’s the deal? - Animated subtitles that don’t…

Hey HN, I built superwhisper out of frustration with the native dictation capabilities of macOS. Inaccurate, required manual punctuation, didnt activate in some contexts or would have audio capture issues. I wanted a replacement that worked offline, had cross language support, was configurable and worked in any application. Under the hood the app is using whisper.cpp, which runs really well on the Apple Silicon chips. You can use the base and standard size models for free, larger models sizes and languages other than english are paid. Let me know what you think! For context, I launched this…

I made this mostly to make content creation faster. When recording a youtube video/ podcast. there's alot of downtime (silence) while looking at scripts or getting the correct item to display. So I made a webapp to automatically cut and stich the video back together then I can further edit in davinci resolve. But I recently found out that this is crazy good for rewatching lectures or meeting recordings, No need to render, just drop the video in and watch it right away. 30min lecture can be watched in 12min! I even added auto generation of subtitles to make studying lecture /meeting…

I created an open source and free version of Wispr Flow that also includes an AI assistant feature I am working on. Has all the main features of Wispr Flow like audio ducking and hot keys to start dictation. @boshjerns on X if you dig it let me know! If you run it locally theres no login necessary but if you install on Mac or Windows- the dictation is all local but requires login because the secondary ai assistant feature uses my openai keys.

Hello HN! I’m a bachelors student pursuing Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Signal processing and during the year I had the goal to build my first AI Tool and launch it. I got inspired by how capable Whisper is, and combined the Whisper CPP Bindings along with FFMPEG.Wasm to create a tool that is capable of transcribing and captioning video files that contain one or more video tracks. Along with that, I’ve also added the support for transcribing audio files with the option to export those outputs as .SRT, .WebVTT or simply a text file. All done privately on a user’s web browser with…
