Handles files, YouTube links, and live microphone transcription
Exports to TXT, SRT, and VTT, with speaker identification and a watch-folder option
Accuracy and speed depend on the Whisper model size and your hardware; larger models need a capable GPU
Whisper's translation feature outputs English, so it is not a general any-to-any translator
