This project has reached a status that most likely won't see any changes in the future. A Raspberry Pi 500 with just 8GB RAM is too limited to be a really good platform for a low-cost home-grown transcription tool. Yet, TranscriptOMatic is not dead and I will give it another go on different hardware. This document will continue to exist for everybody who like to have a starting point for their own transcription projects. Mind the constraints:
TranscriptOMatic in its current state, running on a Raspberry Pi 500, works only - using the whisper.cpp 'tiny.en' model - for English language meetings - okay'ish at best - and by creating a recording Do NOT use the --de or --auto options. I kept these in the documentation to show the concept how TranscriptOMatic should work, not as proof as it actually works on a Raspberry Pi 500.
