To see the GUI on linux, you will likely need to export the QPA platform. For example, when running on Wayland, please export as so:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
python qt_whisper_rt.py
If encountering a "Can't connect to display :0", consider running
xhost +
prior to running the application.

This is a demo of real time speech to text with OpenAI's Whisper model. It works by constantly recording audio in a thread and concatenating the raw bytes over multiple recordings.
To install dependencies simply run
pip install -r requirements.txt
in an environment of your choosing.
Whisper also requires the command-line tool ffmpeg to be installed on your system, which is available from most package managers:
# on Ubuntu or Debian
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg
# on Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
# on MacOS using Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
brew install ffmpeg
# on Windows using Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/)
choco install ffmpeg
# on Windows using Scoop (https://scoop.sh/)
scoop install ffmpeg
