We’re considering developing an open-source desktop app (Linux, Windows, Mac) for podcast creation.

It will feature a customizable workflow where every tool is a plugin, including:

🎛️ Noise reduction
🗣️ Mouth noise editing
🎚️ Simple multi-channel audio editing
🎵 Music insertion
✍️ Automatic local transcription, manual correction
📖 Chapter editing
🏷️ Metadata editing (ID3, RSS) with LLM
💾 Local publishing
🌐 Publish to host (including Castopod support, but not only)

@Castopod Interesting to know if you have ideas on the transcription part. Will it include big tech? Then :geordi_dislike:
:geordi_like: If it doesn't use gafam
And all for multiplatform! :gnu:

@wendy Transcription will be based on Whisper, running locally. But it will be customizable.

@Castopod
Please also include an option for vosk. It is much friendlier to use, especially on lower end or obscure hardware. Or at least make the customizability/plugin development intuitive enough for a moderate Python or equivalent developers.
