Buzz pros and cons
Runs fully offline on your own machine, keeping audio private
Permissive MIT license
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
Installers are unsigned, so Windows and macOS show security warnings on first run
F5-TTS pros and cons
Zero-shot voice cloning from just a short reference clip, no per-voice training
High-quality, natural output using flow matching and Sway Sampling
Gradio web app, CLI, multi-speaker, and voice-chat modes included
Supports training and fine-tuning your own models
Pre-trained models are CC-BY-NC (non-commercial), blocking commercial use by default
Needs PyTorch and realistically a GPU for good performance
A research/developer tool, not a polished end-user product
