Tried it. Crashed obs. Also, Norton wouldn't allow part of the install:

Hi @royshilkrot

I am a newbee OBS develop, and I have noticed that in another post you mentioned that：
i'm also thinking about real-time auto translation to other languages utilizing Speech-to-text -> Translation -> Text-to-speech

How can i achieved the following process: (quite similar with what you are going to do)

I was livestreaming and i need a auto audio reply to the text that my audience type in the chatbox, now i have collect the read time text, but how can i get the following process done, thanks for your help, really thanks!

Real time text (i got from a liverstreamer page and stored in my server) -> AI Models with prompt (like GPT, API i already build in server) to handle real time text and generate answers -> generated answers converted to Speech -> Speech was brodcast via OBS to the Auidence

Hi
This may be difficult to achieve in OBS internally. But text to speech models exist, like Bark. Right now they require a strong GPU. I was doing research to find a small model that can run in OBS, but didn't find one yet. It's a matter of time before it happens though. We need to be patient.
However if you're capable with coding you can make a local Python server that runs e.g. Bark model. It will need to generate an audio stream which you can pick up in OBS like RTMP... It's not a super easy task but possible. In python you could use gstreamer API to build the stream and push data to it from the speech to text engine.
That's what I'm currently thinking.

Installation was pretty straightforward. Tiny seems to miss or incorrectly identify words easily. Base does much better. I'm curious how much impact each jump in Whisper model has on the system. The real reason I am hoping to use this plugin is for translation. When selecting models other than (Eng), the download fails.

Mostly, my use case would be my English speech to another language CC... I have an international audience in my Twitch stream. The Spanish speakers are the ones that struggle the most with the spoken word, so most of the time the CC would be in Spanish. I can foresee a need to do other languages, depending on who is in the majority.

I had the same issue adding in other models. See this Github issue with instructions on how to manually add them in: https://github.com/royshil/obs-localvocal/issues/5

Is it possible for this to display words in real-time? It seems to wait for a sentence's worth of words before displaying them. I've tried all the settings I can think of but nothing seems to speed it up. As such, it's always a good 3-8 seconds behind what was said.
Perhaps when GPU support is added it'll be closer to real-time?

Thanks for using the plugin!
I'll look at shorter time buffers and perhaps make it parametric so you have control. The minimum is 1 second though that's a whisper.cpp thing. Please open an issue for it so we keep track

While tiny -> base is still ok, base -> small can be tough. Small takes around 10 seconds of heavier CPU usage on fairly modern CPUs. There's also an option for GPU now, which worked better (but not perfectly) for me just when testing Whisper directly, but I'll have to test it with the plugin.
