Buzz transcribes and translates audio to text offline using OpenAI's Whisper. Import audio and video files into Buzz and export them as TXT, SRT, or VTT files. Buzz supports Whisper, Whisper.cpp, Faster Whisper, Whisper-compatible models from the Hugging Face repository, and the OpenAI Whisper API.

Required permissions in Buzz will let you select audio and video files for transcription, from most common file location on your computer. Network permission is used to download transcription model files. Microphone permission lets you transcribe real time speech.

Note: If your system theme is not applied to Buzz, ensure it is in <code>~/.themes</code> folder. You may need to copy the system themes to this folder <code>cp -r /usr/share/themes/ ~/.themes/</code> and give Flatpaks access to this folder <code>flatpak override --user --filesystem=~/.themes</code>.
