stt

stt is a standalone speech recognition tool that locally converts spoken content in audio or video files into textual formats without requiring internet access, giving users control over their data and reducing reliance on external APIs. It leverages open-source speech models such as Faster-Whisper to recognize and transcribe human speech into plain text, structured JSON objects, or subtitle files with time codes, making it suitable for both personal and professional transcription tasks. The project is designed to be easy to deploy: you can run a local Python server that exposes an HTTP API for uploading audio/video files and retrieving transcriptions in different formats. It supports GPU acceleration if available, enabling faster processing on compatible hardware but still offers reliable performance on CPUs alone.
