Three things to know.
Install the app
Windows: run the installer and review the SmartScreen prompt. Mac: move the app to Applications and follow the Gatekeeper steps if macOS blocks the first launch.
Get a speech model
From the app’s Models screen, download a model once. The current install guide lists large-v3-turbo (1.6 GB) for Malayalam and English, or small (488 MB) for a quicker try.
Make a project
Import a video and transcribe locally, or bring in an SRT file. Your project and source video stay on your computer in the local workflow.
Know before you try it
- KathaCut is pre-1.0. Expect rough edges and share reproducible bugs through GitHub Issues.
- Local transcription needs a one-time model download. After that, the core workflow can run offline.
- Video export support depends on the configured platform build; the app enables export only when its support check passes.
- Optional cloud features use your own provider key. The provider may charge you, and selected content is sent to that provider.
- For exact install prompts and troubleshooting, read the test-build install guide.
