You're not wrong but the local whisper(?) engine is really slow running on my NAS. I have an N100 box that runs Plex but I haven't found much to suggest it would be any quicker running from there due to a lack of OpenVino support. Standard Whisper can be compiled to use it but it's potentially no quicker than faster-whisper without it.

And that's where I'm up to really. Every time I think about getting some different versions installed and doing benchmarks my brain goes back to Christmas slob mode and fogs over.
