FOSS voice to text

Does anybody know about a good voice-to-text tool? I improvise song lyrics a lot and often thought about how useful it would be to have it written down so I can salvage the good parts.

OpenAI's Whisper model is a really great one, supports many languages ans translationa and is available both as a pretrained model (https://github.com/openai/whisper) which can be selfhosted and as an API (https://openai.com/pricing).

I just found out this was foss yesterday, and really want to start playing with it on my system. Is it GPU-agnostic? I have an AMD card and don't see any mention of GPU support or CUDA requirement on the github docs.

AMD has ROCm which is available on And Radeon Instinct GPUs (server GPUs) and some consumer GPUs. You'd need to double check whether your GPU supports ROCm.

It seems there is some discussion happening here on the use of ROCm with Whisper: https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/105 And here (showing it might be possible?): https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/55

Thanks for that, I've been able to get Stable Diffusion running locally with ROCm so it looks like it should be possible then.

Not great yet and not even good for my accent, but dicio is the only foss one I've got working on android so far.
