I have concluded that the new Whisper V3 models are a bit pointless at the moment, and #MacWhisper is having much more luck with the older model, so I'm using that. Currently adding transcriptions to my live-streams, in hopes that such things help someone.
Conclusion. #MacWhisper doesn't like large .mov or .mp4 files and will repeat text indefinitely after a certain point. Converting that file to .wav fixes the problem. Was able to do three transcripts first-time around with no repeats, using this method. Something to be aware of I guess.
OK, this is great. Just found an #iOS equivalent of #MacWhisper and it’s free. Not sure if it always is, but it certainly is right now.
It’s #Accessible and works well with #VoiceOver.
This is an utterly ridiculous name for a #ScreenReader user to have to hear. This is someone’s youtube name I came across in the comment section of a video, and I think the best way to show you how annoying it is to listen to, is to show you an audio recording of what my phone does, when it comes across it. Standard letters really do suffice, people. It is not necessary for all this. Even with my phone set to the normal speed at which I listen to speech, it takes an age to get through this, not to mention that youtube actually repeats names twice before reading out the comment.
It's just trying to say 'Sinister Potato.'

Right. Due to the strangely popular nature of this post, I re-recorded it (slowed down from 85% to 50%), ran the speech through #MacWhisper so here's the text, as well as the speech for your... Pleasure? No, maybe not, but...
Modifier S, modifier letter small capital, I superscript n.
OK, #MacWhisper is the actual business. Generated subtitles for an hour long youtube video in 4 minutes on my M1 Max, love it! I hope there's an easy-to-use windows equivalent, because this thing is super useful.
Last Saturday/Sunday I wrote a piece of music for a blind organisation. It took me 8 hours, comprised of 22 software tracks and was set to a guide track. It's now complete and here's the finished product. Gotta say, I'm quite proud of this one. https://youtu.be/tOVwgD7BPSw
