WAAS (Whisper as a Service)

Running OpenAI Whisper locally is awesome until you're juggling ten transcription jobs, tracking them in your terminal, and praying nothing crashes halfway through. WAAS (Whisper as a Service) is a project that wraps Whisper in both a GUI and an API, bringing proper queuing and notification features to the whole workflow.

The user-friendly interface lets you upload audio or video files through your browser without fiddling with command-line flags, while the API gives developers programmatic access for integrating transcription into their own tools. Either way, Whisper becomes way easier to use at scale.

To keep you out of the waiting-and-refreshing loop, WAAS supports email notifications and webhooks when jobs finish—so you can kick off long transcriptions, go do something else with your day, and get pinged the second the results are ready.
