Echoes of Memory: An Offline AI Oral History and Remembrance Keeper

Описание и применение

Echoes of Memory – автономный инструмент для сохранения устных историй семей, использующий локальные модели Whisper и Gemma 2, обеспечивая конфиденциальность и долговременное хранение.

Задача

Families struggle to preserve elders’ oral histories, recipes, songs, and life lessons because voice notes and notes are scattered, buried, or require cloud uploads.

Результат

Families now have a private, searchable archive and digital ofrenda that preserves oral histories for decades without cloud reliance.

• Run Whisper locally to transcribe audio into text
• Use Gemma 2 via Ollama to categorize transcripts into themed chapters
• Compile favorite foods, stories, photos, and quotes into a local remembrance page
• Save all data on the personal laptop for future access
