Show HN: TrueScribe – Linux local AI transcription studio

Verified Primary Feed Ingestion
⚡ Executive Takeaways & Intelligence Summary
Switched to Fedora a year ago. And because I needed to transcribe interviews offline from time to time, I was looking for something like MacWhisper for Linux. When I couldn't find one, I decided to build one. Because in this day and age, why the hell not! And yes, AI coding-agents were used. I work as a .NET Software Engineer and I despise Electron Apps, so I decided to go with a semi-native Stack, consisting of C# and Avalonia.Net (hardware accelerated trough SkiaSharp) for the frontend and C++ for low-level model bindings (CTranslate2 for translation, Nemotron 3 NeMo-Speech.cpp for Speaker Identification via JSON-RPC worker). A friend liked the app and told me to go Freemium, so here we are. Works also on Windows btw. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49923302 Points: 3
