  • No worry, all codes are open source and I have no intend to harm your Mac... You can evenbuild your own app by following the developer guide below
• Run it thisway:https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac
• 

• Being such a good guy I am, I've provided both the portable one and the setup one, you can justpick any, install it.
• There's this issue where some PC would recognize the setup as a virus... but you can try your ownvirus total test.

• I made the .deb and .AppImage, currently no other build is provided because I'm too lazy

As per February 3rd, 2024MacWhisper is a really good UI for Whisper in mac, anyway if you want to run whisper on other OS or for free:

• clone thisrepogit@github.com:ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
• install ffmpeg
• cd whisper.cpp && bash ./models/download-ggml-model.sh large

put this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc or any rc your os use

export WHISPERPATH=~/project/whisper.cppwhisper() {  local input="$1"  shift  # All remaining arguments will be treated as an array  local -a extra_args=("$@")  "$WHISPERPATH/main" -f "$input" -of "$input.w" --model "$WHISPERPATH/models/ggml-medium.bin" -l ja "${extra_args[@]}" -osrt}prepwhisper() {  local input="$1"  local output="${input%.\*}.wav"  ffmpeg -i "$input" -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le "$output"}

Then run on your video

prepwhisper video.mp4whisper video.wav

• voila

You can run the followings on the cloned repository: (don't forget to download the LFS files aswell)

Mecab can be downloaded throughbrew by running:

brew install mecab

or in Ubuntu:

sudo apt install mecab

Then, you can run

which mecab

or in Windows, you can directly download the binary filefromSourceForge

to show your default mecab binary file. Use it as the path when asked in Miteiru. Then, you can getJMDict Dictionaryinhttps://github.com/scriptin/jmdict-simplified/releases.Use it as the path when asked in Miteiru as well. Miteiru will build a LevelDB cache locally. Then,you can enjoy the app!

By default, you are using whatever your default Mecab Dictionary offers you, but you can furthercustomize this by modifying themecabrc file which is located in/opt/homebrew/etc/mecabrc inMacOS,C:\Program Files (x86)\MeCab\etc\mecabrc in Windows, and/etc/mecabrc in Ubuntu. Forother OS's you gotta figure it our for yourself right now. Shunou, Miteiru's microlibrary cansupport Unidic, Jumandic, Ipadic, and it's variations. Specifically, if you check out thedicrcfile of each dictionary, Shunou can support the output formatchamame,chasen, and the classicJumandic god knows what output format. You cangetUniDic files here
