Show HN: Vocal Slice – Cut audio by selecting text, fully on-device
Vocal Slice is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that revolutionizes audio editing by letting you select text to cut audio. It transcribes recordings locally with Whisper, then highlights the corresponding waveform when you select a phrase. You can export named, ready-to-deliver clips with byte-perfect lossless quality for WAV sources. All processing stays on your device, ensuring privacy for unreleased episodes or sensitive interviews. With GPU acceleration, multilingual support, and a seven-day free trial without an account or card, Vocal Slice is built for podcasters, video editors, and voiceover artists who need to quickly extract the best moments from long recordings.
Your audio never leaves your device. Every feature, free for seven days — you don't need an account or a card to start.

How do GitHub's terms and conditions like using GitHub Releases as storage for proprietary binaries? I noticed the download link points to https://github.com/terranivium/vocal-slice-releases ... and the license there https://github.com/terranivium/vocal-slice-releases/blob/mai... points at a "THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md" file that doesn't exist.

If you extended this to allow assembling audio from multiple takes of the same dialogue, you’d have something very useful for audio drama post-production.

Why is an annual license instead of one-time only purchase? Do you plan on adding additional features in the future that would bloat this project or otherwise justify perpetual payment?

Thank you for the amazing support so far, a few of you have reached out via email to share use cases I hadn't thought of. This tool was originally conceived around long voice acting recording sessions which were a pain to sift through, but the privacy aspect has implications in legal and NDA scenarios too.

Is it open source ? Curious if there is a breakdown on how it works. Looks really cool
