Field notes
The page describes a desktop workflow in which each transcription job runs inside its own long-lived worker subprocess, with newline-delimited JSON carrying progress back to the interface. It lists three local engines, 14 output formats, optional speaker identification, per-word timestamps, and a queue that can process files or yt-dlp downloads. The stated defaults keep processing offline after the model download, while cloud backends are described as opt-in.
