CLUSTER VIDEO-DESKTOP-OFFLINE · 33 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-01-03

Offline desktop subtitle transcription

This cluster consists of desktop applications that transcribe audio and video files locally, offline, and often free, exporting subtitles in SRT format. Some also translate spoken content. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only three pre-index entries exist. The leading product by traction is whisper-gui-windows with 150 stars, followed by Moss-Transcribe-WebUI (12) and wavesubs (6).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
