AirCaption vs Buzz Captions

Buzz Captions provides offline audio transcription and translation capabilities, leveraging the power of OpenAI's Whisper model. Users can import audio and video files and conveniently export the resulting transcripts into multiple formats, including CSV, SRT, TXT, and VTT. The tool also features live transcription and translation directly from a computer's microphone, although performance may vary based on system resources and selected model settings.

Available across Windows, Linux, and macOS (Intel), Buzz Captions supports several Whisper implementations like Whisper.cpp and Faster Whisper, along with Whisper-compatible Hugging Face models and the official OpenAI Whisper API. The macOS version boasts a native look and feel, incorporating features such as transcript search, audio playback synced with the transcript, and inline editing capabilities. As an open-source project, its code is accessible on GitHub.
