WhisperLive

• WhisperLive is an open-source application for near-live speech transcription.

• It can transcribe microphone input, audio files, RTSP streams and HLS streams.

• It supports Whisper and faster-whisper backends and can run locally or through a server/client architecture.

• Recent versions add word-level timestamps, confidence scores, speaker diarization, custom vocabulary/hotwords, REST/SSE endpoints, WebSocket authentication and rate limiting.

• Country availability: No specific country restriction is publicly stated. Because it is open-source/local software, it is generally usable internationally, subject to access to required models/dependencies.
