Transcribe & summarize

Short workflow for your first real file.

1. Open Qwibo

Ensure first-run model setup is complete (First run).

2. Optional — summary settings

If you want a summary:

1. Go to Summary settings (/settings/summary).
2. Paste an API key (e.g. DeepSeek), or confirm local Qwen is available.
3. Return to Home.

3. Configure sidebar

On the home page sidebar:

• Generate summary — on/off
• Engine — deepseek, openai, local, …
• Length — auto, short, normal, detailed

4. Upload and queue

1. Choose your audio or video file.
2. Click Queue transcription.
3. Wait on the job detail page — progress updates automatically.

5. Use the results

Output	Use
Transcript	Copy from UI or download TXT
Subtitles	Download SRT for editors / YouTube
Summary	Download or read in UI

Open folder shows files on disk:

trascrizione.txt
sottotitoli.srt
riassunto.txt      ← if summary succeeded
source.*           ← copy of upload
job.json           ← metadata

6. Queue another file

Return to Home or stay on /jobs — the worker processes one file at a time in FIFO order.

Common first-time mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Closing the window during a job	OK — worker continues until you Quit from tray
Expecting instant results on long files	Normal on CPU — check progress on job page
Summary failed but transcript OK	Read summary_error on job page; transcript is still valid
