So, no Python environment mess, just one file that runs everywhere. It uses the ggml library to run the models (GGUF, also quantized) directly on your hardware (CPU, Metal, CUDA or Vulkan). github.com/CrispStrobe/...

It is a single C++ binary that extends the familiar Whisper interface to support 10+ other state-of-the-art model families from Mistral (Voxtral), NVIDIA (Canary, Parakeet), Cohere (Transcribe) and others. It also brings language identification (LID), chunking (VAD), etc, to all of those.

Running speech-to-text recognition (ASR) privately on your own machine is easily doable e.g. with Whisper.cpp. If you want to go beyond that, you might find this little (and early-stage) project useful:
CrispASR starts from Whisper.cpp and turns it into a more universal tool:

Ich schlage vor, das Geschehen nicht in eine Richtung hin zu deuten, sondern unterschiedliche Entwicklungspfade im Blick zu haben.

Ein Parlamentsprotokoll dokumentiert, wie die Diyanet ihre Europastrategie intern darstellt.
Welche institutionellen Dynamiken sind plausiblerweise am Werk, wenn eine staatlich gesteuerte Religionsbehörde (Diyanet/DITIB) auf europäischen Anpassungsdruck trifft?

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour.

The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Jürgen Habermas obituary: philosopher who was Germany’s moral conscience The eminent social thinker remained in Germany throughout his career to defend the most progressive and enlightened traditions of his native land

‘He had an endless curiosity and zest for debate, and an eagerness to understand the younger generation. Following a guest lecture, he would sometimes spend the evening in a corner of the pub, entertaining students’

Iran steht nach dem Tod Ali Khameneis vor einer Zäsur, die zugleich Systemkrise und Stresstest für die ideologische Substanz der Islamischen Republik ist. Der Frage, ob sich eine „Dritte Revolutionsführung“ noch einmal neu legitimieren kann, bleibt offen.
