Hello, there is free trial ? Thank you
Hi rebork5555, you can download a demo of the program to see how it works. Just click on the Download button next to PrivateTranscriberPro DEMO v1.5.2.
Sorry, I didn't see the demo. I've used the demo with a spanish sound archive, but it auto translates to english. Thank you.
Hi Rebork5555, you can keep the transcription in Spanish by selecting "Keep original language" in the Settings menu.. You can see that option by going to the Edit menu, then clicking on Settings. You'll see something like this:
Sorry, I didn't see the language options. Thank you very much. I'm be able to see the original language now. Very nice software.
Am I correct to understand that the application only uses the CPU and not the GPU? Is there a way to switch between?
You are absolutely correct Kijkeenolifant, the current version only uses CPU. In a future version there will be an option to accelerate it with your GPU.
The point was to first make it available to everyone, and then making it better over time with new releases. Anyone that buys it will have access to future versions anyway, forever!
Nice work on the application. Great all in one lightweight package. Would it be possible to include the larger models in the application as well? That's the only downside for me at the moment compared to installing the normal way.
Thanks Kijkeenolifant, great to hear you liked it.
What you say is a valid point. I originally planned to include all the models in the application, but ended up with a file that is way larger than itch.io's maximum allowed download file size (1GB), so I ended up including only a subset of them to make the application pass this constraint.
Having said that, it looks like I can manually request itch.io for a larger maximum file size, so I will update this tool if they increase this limit.
I ended up discovering a different way of uploading files (butler) which is much nicer and doesn't have the 1GB restriction. So, as promised, I just updated the app to include five different model sizes, which are now available in v1.5.2.
I didn't want to include all the 3 versions of the large model as the download is already at about 5GB so I only added large-v1 which seems to be the one with least amount of issues in general, but if you want to use any of the other 2 large models (v2 or v3), you can simply copy the model you want to use to the models folder and change its name to large-v1 and it will use that model instead when you select the most accurate setting.
That is amazing! Thanks for the quick turn around. I will definitely buy a copy :).
