AutoCut
Cut videos with a text editor
AutoCut is an innovative tool that lets users edit and cut videos using a text-centric workflow instead of a traditional video editor. AutoCut automatically generates subtitles or transcripts for uploaded videos, and users can simply edit the text file to select the segments of the video they want to keep. This approach transforms video editing into a textual editing task, greatly lowering the barrier to editing for users who find traditional video editors complex or unintuitive. AutoCut supports multiple transcription backends, including Whisper and faster-whisper modes, allowing users to choose based on speed or accuracy needs. After editing the transcript text, the corresponding video clips are merged into the final output, and the tool also produces matching subtitle files. Its command-line interface can be integrated into scripts, making it suitable for automated workflows or batch processing. -

Mozc
Mozc - a Japanese Input Method Editor designed for multi-platform
Mozc is an open source Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) developed by Google, designed to provide Japanese text input across multiple operating systems including Android, macOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, and Chromium OS. The project originated as a subset of Google Japanese Input, released publicly under the BSD 3-Clause license for community use and development. Mozc offers core IME functionality such as text conversion, prediction, and dictionary-based input, enabling users to efficiently type and edit Japanese text. While Mozc shares much of its codebase with Google’s internal IME, it operates as an independent open source project without official support, guarantees, or stable release cycles. Developers can build Mozc from source for their preferred platform, and the repository includes detailed build instructions for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. -

ARIS
Lightweight Markdown-only skills for autonomous ML research
ARIS is an experimental automation framework that leverages AI coding agents to perform continuous research and development tasks autonomously, even without active user supervision. The system is designed to run iterative cycles of research, coding, testing, and refinement, effectively simulating a “sleep mode” where productive work continues in the background. It integrates with AI tools such as Claude Code to generate solutions, analyze results, and improve outputs over time. The project emphasizes long-running workflows that can explore problem spaces more deeply than manual intervention would typically allow. It also highlights the potential of autonomous agents to handle repetitive or exploratory tasks that would otherwise require significant human effort. The framework is particularly relevant for developers interested in automated experimentation, continuous learning systems, and AI-driven productivity. -

Open source plain text editor designed for writing novels
A markdown-like text editor designed for writing novels and larger projects of many smaller plain text documents. It is designed to be a simple text editor that allows for easy organization of text files and notes, with a metadata syntax for comments, synopsis, and cross-referencing between files, and built on plain text files for robustness. The project storage is suitable for version control software, and also well suited for file synchronisation tools. All text is saved as plain text files with a meta data header. The core project structure is stored in a single project XML file. Other meta data is primarily saved as JSON files. -

DeepSpeech
Open source embedded speech-to-text engine
DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers. DeepSpeech is an open-source Speech-To-Text engine, using a model trained by machine learning techniques based on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper. Project DeepSpeech uses Google's TensorFlow to make the implementation easier. A pre-trained English model is available for use and can be downloaded following the instructions in the usage docs. If you want to use the pre-trained English model for performing speech-to-text, you can download it (along with other important inference material) from the DeepSpeech releases page. -

AudioNotes
Extract audio and video content and organize it into a Markdown note
AudioNotes is an application (or proof-of-concept) that likely combines audio recording or playback with note-taking or annotation functionality — enabling users to record voice or audio and attach textual or timestamped notes, making it ideal for lectures, interviews, meetings, or personal memos. Such a tool offers a more expressive and flexible way to capture and revisit information: instead of just typed notes or raw audio, users get both audio context and structured notes. As an open-source repository, AudioNotes provides developers or power users the opportunity to customize how audio is captured, stored, annotated, and replayed — e.g. adding playback speed control, export to standard formats, or synchronization between notes and audio timeline. It may support simple UI for starting/stopping recordings, writing or editing notes, and navigating through recorded sessions. -

jieba
Stuttering Chinese word segmentation
"Jaba" Chinese word segmentation, do the best Python Chinese word segmentation component. Four word segmentation modes are supported. Precise mode, which tries to cut the sentence most precisely, suitable for text analysis. Full mode, scans all the words that can be formed into words in the sentence, the speed is very fast, but the ambiguity cannot be resolved. The search engine mode, on the basis of the precise mode, divides the long words again to improve the recall rate, which is suitable for word segmentation in search engines. The paddle mode uses the PaddlePaddle deep learning framework to train the sequence labeling (bidirectional GRU) network model to achieve word segmentation. Also supports part-of-speech tagging. To use paddle mode, you need to install paddlepaddle-tiny, pip install paddlepaddle-tiny==1.6.1. Currently paddle mode supports jieba v0.40 and above. For versions below jieba v0.40, please upgrade jieba, pip install jieba --upgrade. -
