LocalVocal: Local Live Captions & Translation On-the-Go v0.2.3

LocalVocal live-streaming AI assistant plugin allows you to transcribe & translate, locally on your machine, audio speech into text and perform various language processing functions on the text using AI / LLMs (Large Language Models). No GPU required*, no cloud costs, no network and minimal lag! Privacy first - all data stays on your machine. (* GPU acceleration via CUDA is supported!)

Do more with LocalVocal:

The plugin adds an Audio Filter - use it on a speech source (mic, video) to get a transcription. Send the captions to a Text Source to show on scene.

Current Features:

• Transcribe audio to text in real time in 100 languages
• Translate immediately to/from ~100 languages
• Display captions on screen using text sources
• Translate captions in real time to any language - see https://youtu.be/Q34LQsx-nlg or https://youtu.be/ryWBIEmVka4

Roadmap Features: (coming soon)

• Remove unwanted words from the transcription
• Summarize the text and show "highlights" on screen
• Detect key moments in the stream and allow triggering events (like replay)
• Detect emotions/sentiment and allow triggering events (like changing the scene or colors etc.)

Internally the plugin is running a neural network (OpenAI Whisper) locally to predict in real time the speech and provide captions.

It's using the Whisper.cpp project from ggerganov to run the Whisper network in a very efficient way on CPUs and GPUs. For translation it's using CTranslate2 and the M2M100 model.

If you use this plugin - let us know! We would love to feature your work/vids and showcase your success.
