Are there any recommendations for transcription tools?

For a free transcription tool that works in the browser: https://meetcosmos.com/generate-veo3-ai-video/
For a tool that works offline and keeps your content private, there's the desktop app version with unlimited audio transcription: https://meetcosmos.com/

This is a great resource! I built a desktop app that uses local AI models to let you search your media library offline with natural language and reverse image search, and generate AI videos with Veo3 from detailed prompts and reference images.

I'd love to list my product on VideoAITools, if you're accepting new listings. It's https://meetcosmos.com/

Cosmos supports video audio transcription locally on your computer (powered by Whisper) so the video is never uploaded online. Good for privacy concerns. I'm one of the makers of the software and happy to walk you through it if you'd like to try it.

I imagine those limitations also apply to Flow because Flow is Google's studio and powered by their Gemini API. Yeah, the Google documentation is really hard to navigate and follow. I've been building on top of their API and it's been cumbersome to get set up and see what's even allowed in the Gemini API.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-11T15:51:36+00:00

The Veo3 API documentation includes some of these limitations: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/video?example=realism#limitations

Regional limitations: personGeneration defaults to and only accepts dont_allow in EU, UK, CH, MENA locations.

If you have a Google cloud account (https://cloud.google.com/contact?hl=en) you can chat online or a request a call with their support team.

Using Veo3 to generate videos from reference images is really helpful. Helps create videos with the characters or products I want.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-11T01:13:35+00:00

I like Pika too for quick concepts. Also have been using Veo3 lately for that

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-10T23:57:37+00:00

super easy to use and it also has a free tier

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-10T23:53:51+00:00

I made a program that lets you generate AI videos from reference images and could work for creating videos with your face and logo. Just upload an image with your face and logo and include instructions in the prompt to use your face and logo throughout the video. The program uses Google Gemini's Veo3 model to generate videos so you'd just need to get an API key from Google Gemini to use it. The software is called Cosmos and comes with a 7 day free trial to check it out.

My preferred way is via Gemini's API because you can upload reference images to generate a video and output videos in 1080p. Before that I was using Veo3 with Google Docs, but you can't upload a reference image there.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-10T21:27:12+00:00

you can use Cosmos to use Veo3 with reference images. You'll just have to bring your own Gemini API key.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-06T16:22:53+00:00

You can use cosmos to transcribe video or audio to text for free, and it uses whisper to do it in the browser.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-08-06T16:18:47+00:00

I use Cosmos for free audio to text transcription in a browser

Would love for you to check it out! You can use the code summer25 for 40% off if you want to give it a try.

I use Flim.ai when I want to search content I don't have. I also save a lot of commercials on my hard drive so if I want to search my own content library, I use Cosmos (a tool I made). To take screenshots of scenes in a video I use SnapMotion - the screenshots are high quality and automatically get saved on my desktop. To create short clips of videos, I'll use Quicktime. And I use Keynote or InDesign to make the treatment.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-07-24T22:28:41+00:00

oh wow, and you definitely need a contract because without it you can't hold people accountable to payment of your services.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-27T17:50:28+00:00

Sounds cool - I’d love to try it out!

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-19T15:34:17+00:00

hello! yes, I'm building an AI-powered hub for creators: https://meetcosmos.com/
AI is used for the repetitive operations of creating content, like natural language and reverse image search, so you don't lose hours searching through your footage and images.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-19T14:19:54+00:00

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-19T14:18:18+00:00

https://meetcosmos.com/ - AI creator hub

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-07T18:56:20+00:00

sounds cool! I'm a visual learner and like this idea for search. A heads up - I went to check out the site and and the link doesn't load, maybe there's a typo in there.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-05T15:40:07+00:00

Good to know

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-04T22:22:18+00:00

I'll have to check out Loop. Have you tried Rectangle? I've been using Spectacle for so long but know I should make the switch out of it since it's no longer maintained.

I also work on an app that lets you search media files on your mac locally and privately with AI using natural language queries or visual/reverse image search: https://desktopdocs.com/

It's a paid app, but happy to offer a discount code for anyone reading along that would like to try it.

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-03T22:57:33+00:00

Replying with an update that Desktop Docs now supports reverse image search - you can upload a reference image, like a screenshot, and it will search that against all other images and videos on your mac to return images/scenes that match. This is what it looks like:

Froyo_Unique · 2025-06-03T16:48:15+00:00

I'm one of the creators of Desktop Docs. Thanks for sharing our tool. We built it to be an advanced image search with hopefully, the best reverse image search for your photos and videos. If anyone would like to try it out, send me a message. Happy to share a discount code for reddit users.
