Project structure

Whishper is a collection of pieces that work together. The three main pieces are:

• Transcription-API: This is the API that enables running Faster-Whisper. You can find it in the transcription-api folder.
• Whishper-Backend: This is the backend that coordinates frontend calls, database, and tasks. You can find it in backend folder.
• Whishper-Frontend: This is the frontend (web UI) of the application. You can find it in frontend folder.
• Translation (3rd party): This is the libretranslate container that is used for translating subtitles.
• MongoDB (3rd party): This is the database that stores all the information about your transcriptions.
• Nginx (3rd party): This is the proxy that allows running everything from a single domain.
