       Show HN: I built a tool to replace capcut audio transcription
        
       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 here, just using Huggingface/Xenova
       Transformers.js to run Whisper in the browser with a background
       worker.  You can see a demo here:
       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICLOvAq9vKE  If you're interested
       in building this yourself, there's a bunch of examples on
       Huggingface

         | Lmk if you don't see it.
