am I not getting it correctly; it says local is possible but can't find any information about how to run it without any api key?
I get the whispers models, and do what? how to run in a device without internet, no documentation about it...
The docs are pretty clear that you need to use speaches if you want entirely local operation.
Yeah I agree, I neglected to update the docs and demo. This post was made anticipating the local transcription feature to drop earlier but it took some time due to some bugs. Before, the default option was using Groq for transcription, but that was admittedly before I figured out local transcription and wanted something to work in the meantime. Will be changing local as the default strategy in the documentation.
Commented this earlier, but I'm in the middle of a release that adds Whisper C++ support! https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/pull/655
After this pushes, we'll have far more extensive local transcription support. Just fixing a few more small things :)
