Audio Recorder / Transcriber

Author Sascha Fitzner - fitznerIO

Welcome to the Audio Recorder / Transcriber! This application allows you to record audio and transcribe it using OpenAI Wisper. Additionally, it provides a feature that can translate the transcribed text directly into English. The result, whether transcribed or translated, is then automatically copied to your clipboard for ease of use.
