This works with Whisper behind the scenes and it is true: running Whisper locally it is easy and this may not be needed (it even adds overhead, since Whisper gives me the .srt file directly, I can ask to use the tiny model to make it faster, etc).

BUT if my brother (accountant) needs something like this, he wouldn't be able to install Whisper: he wouldn't even be able to open Github. So I think frontend GUI that behind the scenes runs models are always welcome.

I think this would be much better if it would run Whisper on their server instead of using an external API, but that's their decission.
