Know before installing

Transcription can hallucinate, especially with silence or background noise. Check language, names and times against the recording. TDS currently accepts English audio up to 60 seconds.

A small first task

  1. Install using the upstream setup instructions.
  2. Choose the audio language and a model that fits your hardware.
  3. Test one clip with clear speech before a long job.
  4. Review the transcript and timing against the original.
