I am interested in a way to capture audio not only from the mic, but also from one of the monitor ports so you could pipe the audio you are hearing from the web directly for real-time transcription with one of these solutions. Did anyone manage to do that?
I can, for example, capture audio from that with Audacity or OBS Studio and do it later, so it should be possible to do it in real time too assuming my machine can keep up.
Does it work if you use ffmpeg to feed it audio from a file? I personally would try file->ffmpeg->voxtral then mic->ffmpeg->file, and then try to glue together mic->ffmpeg->voxtral.
(But take with grain of salt; I haven't tried yet)
This was a breeze to install on Linux. However, I haven't managed to get realtime transcription working yet, ala Whisper.cpp stream or Moonshine.
--from-mic only supports Mac. I'm able to capture audio with ffmpeg, but adapting the ffmpeg example to use mic capture hasn't worked yet:
ffmpeg -f pulse -channels 1 -i 1 -f s16le - 2>/dev/null | ./voxtral -d voxtral-model --stdin
It's possible my system is simply under spec for the default model.
I'd like to be able to use this with the voxtral-q4.gguf quantized model from here: https://huggingface.co/TrevorJS/voxtral-mini-realtime-gguf
