How to run SmartSub
- 01
Rent a GPU
Pick one of the GPUs above. Billing is per second; stop the machine and you stop paying.
- 02
Open a terminal or Jupyter
Connect over SSH or open Jupyter in your browser. PyTorch and CUDA are ready to use.
- 03
Clone the app and follow its README
Run the commands below, then follow the project's README. Most apps start a web interface you can open through the machine's ports.
git clone https://github.com/buxuku/SmartSub.git
cd SmartSubWhy run it yourself?
Transcribe hours of audio for the cost of the GPU minutes it takes. Recordings never leave your machine.
Questions
