Whisper will hallucinate on audio segments that don't have any speech. VAD mitigates that. Expect worse results without it, especially on non-English audio.

Is the point that you only need one tool -- ffmpeg -- to both generate transcripts as well as embed those into a video as opposed to having multiple tools?

This is a 3 part series, the first one discusses the new native whisper integration. And correct, for the first post - the point is to show that you can only use ffmpeg to transcribe and embed subtitles in a video

Do you know if it’s supported on Mac too, with whatever platform specific optimizations like running it on the gpu / with MPS ?

You mean Vulkan? In the blog post there is reference to all vulkan supported platforms

If you mean ffmpeg build with whisper - from memory I didn't see ffmpeg-builds for mac, so you will probably need to compile yourself
