I use Systran/faster-whisper-medium for real-time subtitling, but you need to get used to the context it's used it and the weirdness it translates into. Parakeet has great mandarin>CN text, but running that + a translation model has been tricky and I never got it fast.

Thank you for this too. I am running in an offline scope so I don't need speed just quality. I'm willing to do it overnight as well if required.
I run it offline too, don't want to depend on separate services.

I use TranscriptionSuite, which is focused on offline transcription, and supports Parakeet as well as whisper and others (https://github.com/homelab-00/TranscriptionSuite) The dev was sweet enough to improve the live mode GUI so that I and some friends can use it when playing on Chinese mmo servers.
