alt Hacker NewsAh yeah, longform is interesting.
Not sure how you're running it, via whichever "app thing", but...
On resource limited machines: "Continuous recording" mode outputs when silence is detected via a configurable threshold.
This outputs as you speak in more reasonable chunks; in aggregate "the same output" just chunked efficiently.
Maybe you can try hackin' that up?
Yeah that makes sense, chunking on silence would sidestep the latency issue pretty cleanly. I've been running it through a basic fastapi wrapper so it just takes whatever audio blob gets thrown at it, no chunking logic on the server side. Might be worth adding a vad pass before sending to whisper though, would cut down on processing dead air too.
