Faster Hardware, Faster Results: How System Specs Impact Performance (on minimum requirements )
Gatherly PRO is optimized for efficient offline transcription and merging. Here’s an estimated timeline for key tasks on older slow notebook (4y old):
📌 Two Flexible Transcription Options
Transcribe During Recording
Transcription happens in real-time, and the process is completed within seconds of the recording finishing.
Perfect for when you need results immediately after recording!
Transcribe After Recording (good for older PC with slow CPU)
This is the traditional method where transcription starts after the recording ends. Completion time varies depending on your computer’s performance and audio length.
When you opt for transcription during the recording using our Tiny or Base models, your transcription will be completed within seconds after the recording ends.
Transcription Times after recording:
Tiny Model: 1~5 minutes for 30 minutes of audio
Base Model: ~5 minutes for 30 minutes of audio (Recommended for most cases)
Small Model: 10~40 minutes for 30 minutes of audio
Medium Model: 30~90 minutes for 30 minutes of audio
Large Model: ~40-180 minutes for 30 minutes of audio
Merging Video + Audio: A 30-minute video and audio merge typically takes 5–7 minutes on a mid-range processor.
Coming Soon: NVIDIA GPU Support for Faster Transcription
In the next stable release, Gatherly PRO will introduce CUDA support for NVIDIA GPUs. When enabled, the system will automatically switch to GPU processing, providing a 50% or more speed improvement for transcription tasks.
Why It Matters: CUDA support takes advantage of your GPU’s parallel processing capabilities, drastically reducing transcription times.
Availability: This feature is currently in development and is expected in the next stable release.
Stay tuned for updates and experience even faster processing with NVIDIA GPUs!
