OpenVINO AI Tools

The transcriptions with Whisper are a game changing feature!! I would love to see this continue receiving support. Absolutely incredible! It'd be amazing to have these high quality audio captions live while audio plays too. I noticed the model sometimes skipping over small words or it places the marker a little bit before the audio actually plays but it works really well overall, it's mostly limited by Audacity's user interface design. How about adding AI text to speech and voice cloning? Would be incredible if we could generate voice lines or even singing in your own voice right in Audacity. OpenVINO performs incredibly well on Intel hardware. I get almost twice the inference speed than other runtimes do while maintaining the same quality. Perfect for getting the most out of your iGPU! It's unfortunately, as usual with AI, a rather large download, for a decent quality model you already need a couple gigabytes of disk space. Torch CPU uses 230MB on it's own. I'm not sure if all of that is necessary, OVMS doesn't have torch in it but works just as well? Maybe an optional toggle on setup can be included to leave out Torch and install OpenVINO only for people that have Intel hardware. Thanks a loot!!

I agree it took for ever to install. Like over 30 minutes but when It did finish it has worked super smoothly. I really appreciate this tool for the simplicity it gives to some of the steps of my audio production. There are still issues, the noise reduction isn't perfect, sometimes reduces parts that should be left alone, and the track separation isn't always right, sometimes leaves little blips in the wrong tracks, but for what it is as a free tool, I am very impressed and grateful for it!

The addition of these AI tools to an already powerful editor is awesome! I have no idea why people are griping about 'removal from base app', because these have never been part of the base app; not in the 10+ years I've been using it anyway. Stem separation and AI assisted noise removal? Awesome! Sure, the audio generation isn't brilliant, but then I wouldn't expect it to be w/o the power of a cloud behind it.

Best plugin I've used, thanks

update audacity if it doesn't show it shows the minimum reqired version RIGHT THERE

Installation worked successfully unlike other people are saying, it REALLLY suppressed my voice recording audio & It's soooo HARD to find a program that does it so wonderfully as you did. Interesting it doesn't send any data to them and runs on ur PC 100% Thanks for the amazing program ;;

It's nice to get this onto Mac. Unfortunately splitting stems takes ages with poor results compared to other tools like Demucs or Logic. I think it's not optimised for the Apple chips (seems to use CPU rather than GPU). Hopefully it improve in future versions.

As a sight challenged sound designer, I love the fact that Openvino has options to separate music, generate transcriptions and so on. One thing I'd like to see added to the Music Separation algorithm is the ability to separate instruments like piano, keyboards, strings, guitar, sound effects, speech, and the like.

Installed for me, took two tries. Looked like it was going to fail the second time, but I turned around for a moment and it finished. It must be shy.

It installed well. I was really pleasantly surprised that these are free tools, and they work pretty well for the price. Thank you.
