(scriberpro.cc)
137 points rezivor | 20 comments | 15 Oct 25 12:16 UTC | HN request time: 0.648s | source | bottom

Hey HN! Built this because I was tired of waiting hours for transcription services and didn't want to upload sensitive recordings to the cloud.

  Real metrics from my M1 Max: 4.5hr video file transcribed in 3 minutes 32
  seconds. Works completely offline.

   First 5 HN users who click the button on the page get it free. Literally promo code straight to the app sore  


  Key differences vs Rev/Otter:
  - No 2-hour file limits (handles any length)
  - Timecodes stay accurate on long files (no drift from chunking)
  - Supports MP3, WAV, MP4, MOV, M4A, FLAC
  - Exports to SRT, VTT, JSON, PDF, DOCX, CSV, Markdown

  Built for macOS. Happy to answer questions!

The landing page is difficult to read due to the strong red background.

I learned this as a young developer writing status pages. I had a colour-blind colleague, so text on green/yellow/red.

Typically white text works better on red.

That page has a very aggressive background color and really low contrast. Extremely annoying.

Seems like a great app, but I have to ask:

https://scriberpro.cc/about/ Are you trolling people with this page's design? Unreadable colors AND a wobble effect? :D

https://i.imgur.com/EBaMNDS.png This is how your landing page looks on my desktop.

The first thought I had when it loaded was, "Did we forget how to make webpages?"

Sorry. I'm sure the software is great, but yeah.

Also, disabling scrolling and using swipe for sections instead _at a font size that causes text to overflow_, depending on phone screen size, meaning a bunch of the site is _literally_ unreadable, since it's off the screen with no way to get there.

No need to apologize!

You were going for *really low contrast* ? That's an interesting goal to have.

Reds people choose are usually between dark and light, which doesn't contrast particularly well on anything because for good contrast you need a dark color vs a light color.

Green, yellow, red or whatever hue is fine, as long as it's dark or light enough. Colorblind and non-colorblind people can see how dark or light a color is (luminance), but they might not agree on the hue. That's why WCAG contrast checks require luminance contrast and not hue contrast.

It's best to use a contrast checker because it's not always intuitive how dark or light a color is e.g. yellow and lime are almost as light as white.

I can’t read this site. Red background, dark grey/black text, is a terrible terrible choice for colors for readability. There were some words there but all I could make out were the header on my mobile phone.

They also mean the 3D effect (and there's also a blur one)
