Quick Start

Prerequisite

• Your own OpenAI API (You need to have a balance)
• Your own Notion API
• Your own Notion Database ID (How to create a database)
• Permissions of your database for Notion API
• CURL: if you don't have CURL, get it from curl - Download
• FFmpeg: if you don't have FFmpeg, get it from Download FFmpeg

For those who want to use GPU power:

• CUDA Toolkit 12
• cuBLAS for CUDA 12
• cuDNN 8 for CUDA 12

You can use CPU and Whisper API if you don't want to use a GPU

Tip

An easier way for me to use cuBLAS and cuDNN 8, in Faster Whisper GitHub:

Download the libraries from Purfview's repository (Windows & Linux)

Purfview's whisper-standalone-win provides the required NVIDIA libraries for Windows & Linux in a single archive. Decompress the archive and place the libraries in a directory included in the PATH.

You can also place the archives in the same folder as the executable or Python code below

Note

Before using ChatGPT API and Whisper API(not necessary), check Pricing - OpenAI

Usage: Executable by PyInstaller (Windows)

1. Download Executable
2. Run it and setup the APIs

4. Paste the link/file path and then setup link/file language and your preference

Usage: Python Usage

1. Clone the repo
2. Install Python packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run Python script and setup the APIs by GUI (like in Usage: Executable)

   python main.py
   

4. Paste the link/file path and then setup link/file language and your preference (like in Usage: Executable)

Known Issues

• Executable will always open a terminal window: It's an issue in PyInstaller.
• App crashes and exits suddenly after transcribing: The app will save transcription into a .txt file in the same folder. Use it to take notes. Or choose a smaller Whisper model.
