Whisperfile

Whisperfile is a high-performance speech-to-text tool built on whisper.cpp by Georgi Gerganov, et al., and OpenAI's Whisper model weights.

Whisperfile bundles the binary and model weights into a single self-contained executable that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows without installation.
