OWhisper – Ollama for realtime speech-to-text

OWhisper brings Ollama-like simplicity to speech-to-text processing, offering both real-time and batch capabilities. The tool evolved from user requests at Hyprnote for custom STT endpoints similar to connecting custom LLM endpoints. It serves two main purposes: providing quick local access to lightweight models for personal projects and prototyping, while also enabling larger model deployment on users' own infrastructure. This open-source tool aims to make speech recognition more accessible and customizable for developers.
