I often subtitle old, obscure, foreign language movies with Whisper. Or random clips found on foreign Telegram/Twitter channels. Paired up with some GPT for translation it works great!
You can do this locally if you have enough (V)RAM, but I prefer the OpenAI API, as usually I don't have enough at hand. And the various Llamas aren't really quality on par with GPT-4. If you only need Whisper, and no translation, then local execution is indeed very viable. High quality Whisper fits in 4GB of (V)RAM.
