How to Summarize Your Audio Recordings Using Offline Transcription Software on Windows and MacOS

You can use the SpeechPulse speech recognition application to transcribe and summarize your audio recordings on Windows and MacOS.

SpeechPulse supports offline transcription using Whisper AI models. It also supports large language models to summarize your audio recordings.

For example, you can easily generate bullet point lists of key points from your recorded meetings, lectures, or any other recording using SpeechPulse.

On Windows, we recommend you run the English (standard) language model on a GPU for faster processing. You need at least 8 GB of VRAM to run both the Multi (large) speech model and English (standard) language model on your NVIDIA GPU. If your PC doesn’t meet these requirements, you can use one of the speech APIs for the speech model and one of the language APIs for the language model.

  1. Download and install SpeechPulse
  2. Download one of the speech models. Larger speech models have better accuracy, but smaller models run faster. You can also use an OpenAI-compatible Whisper Speech API.

    Option 1: Download a speech model.

    Option 2: Add a speech API.

  3. Download a large language model or use an OpenAI-compatible language API as the large language model.

    Option 1: Download a language model.

    Option 2: Add a language API.

  4. Switch to the file mode.
  5. Select your speech model (or API) and large language model (or API).
  6. Add a new AI template, giving instructions to the large language model for text summarization. You can use the default summary template as the basis for your new template.
  7. Select the AI template for summarization.
  8. Drag and drop the audio and video files you want to transcribe and summarize. SpeechPulse supports most audio and video file formats including MP3, WAV, OGG, WMA, M4A, FLAC, AVI, FLV, MP4, WMV, WebM, and many others.
  9. Select an output folder where you want your transcribed text files and summarizations to be saved.
  10. Press the Start button to start the transcription and summarization.
  11. SpeechPulse will transcribe your audio and video recordings and apply your Summarization AI template to create text summaries for each file.
  12. After the summarization is complete, you will have full-text transcriptions and AI-generated summarizations for each file in the output folder.
  13. You can modify your AI summarization template to change the format, style, length, or any other property of the generated summarizations.
