That’s actually very smart, for people who aren’t afraid of using WSL. Then you would just sudo apt installthe dependencies (and I assume since it’s an ubuntu subsystem it already has python 3.12), and then run the installer for Linux through WSL:
I also heard that your C:\ drive mounts in the WSL through /mnt/c/, so you can pass any audio file to stt by simply specifiying ‘stt transcribe “/mnt/c/Documents/my_video.mp4”’
but I assume you will have to run stt through the WSL cli from then on?
Yes it would be the CLI. Thing is that it’s simpler since the Linux filesystem gets exposed in the File Manager (it’s literally a “Linux” tab next to “This computer”)
So, you can just drag and drop a file from the Videos folder in Windows into Linux and vice-versa.
So you could drag the video into Linux, run stt transcribe /home/user/my_video.mp4 and then grab it back to Windows Videos folder (or just use the Linux folder since it’s treated as a regular directory by Windows)
It’s easier for a beginner than messing with mounting and mv. It’s what I do in my work computer whenever I need to do something with yt-dlp.
It’s very, very convenient. I wonder if WSL is the reason why winget was abandoned
Why not WSL?
wsl --installI can’t recall if there’s any set-up besides this, but I think that using WSL is better than rawdogging EXEs in Windows.
