Live Browser Plugin Transcription #191

Open leeusaf opened 7 months ago

leeusaf commented 7 months ago

Hello,

This is a fantastic tool, it works from the python client console just fine - though there are some hallucinations as noted in another issue. My overall goal here, was to use the browser plugin to listen to a tab that holds a meeting and transcribe notes form all the speakers (remote and local). I don't see a way to connect the plugin to my whisper-live server - though the documentation seems to imply this is possible.

Thanks.

Try Audio-Transcription-Chrome?

Try Audio-Transcription-Chrome?

Thanks, yes that is what I was saying - although not too clearly. This plugin doesn't seem to have a method to connect it to a whisper-live server. In fact, the plugin does activate on a tab - but doesn't seem to function past that.

@leeusaf do you have a server running on your localhost?

You need to start your server locally. If the server not running locally, you need to manually modify the host address in popup.js.

   let host = "localhost";
    let port = "9090";
    const useCollaboraServer = useServerCheckbox.checked;
    if (useCollaboraServer){
      host = "transcription.kurg.org"
      port = "7090"
    }

It can run on my computer, but indeed, it's occasionally unavailable. I am still investigating the root cause.
