-A fast cross-platform CPU-first video/audio transcriber for generating caption files with [Whisper](https://openai.com/research/whisper) and [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2), hosted on Hugging Face Spaces. A `pip` installable offline CLI tool with CUDA support is provided. By default, Voice Activity Detection (VAD) preprocessing is always enabled.
