Speakr v0.8.0 introduces new features for its self-hosted transcription app, enhancing user experience with additional diarization options and a REST API. Users can now perform speaker diarization without a GPU by setting the TRANSCRIPTION_MODEL to gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize, utilizing their OpenAI key for diarized transcripts. The REST API v1 facilitates automation, compatible with tools like n8n and Zapier, and includes interactive Swagger documentation and personal access tokens for authentication. The update also improves UI responsiveness for lengthy transcripts, offers better audio playback, and maintains compatibility with local LLMs for text generation, while simplifying configuration through a connector architecture that auto-detects providers based on user settings. This matters because it makes advanced transcription and automation accessible to more users by reducing hardware requirements and simplifying setup, enhancing productivity and collaboration.
