WaaS
A web service providing a GUI and API with queuing for OpenAI Whisper transcription and translation.
What is WaaS?
WaaS (Whisper as a Service) is an open-source web service that provides a production-ready API and graphical interface for OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model. It solves the problem of deploying Whisper at scale by adding job queuing, multiple output formats, and callback notifications, making it suitable for batch processing and integration into applications.
Developers and organizations needing to transcribe or translate audio/video files programmatically or via a web interface, especially those who prefer self-hosted solutions over cloud APIs.
It offers a ready-to-deploy, scalable service layer for Whisper with features like asynchronous processing, webhook/email notifications, and a built-in editor—all without vendor lock-in or usage fees.
