For transcriptions to work, you need to install ffmpeg manually from the terminal and the easiest way to do it is via Homebrew:
Open up a Terminal window, then run:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
If Homebrew installation fails, first make sure you have xcode installed:
xcode-select --install
Note: if Homebrew installation fails for any reason, a good starting point is this page.
In the same Terminal window:
brew install ffmpeg
First, download the StoryToolkitAI zip file that fits with your platform, if you haven't done so already. Unzip, copy the app file into your Applications folder, then double click and it should start.
Mac OS might warn you of malicious software or it might ask you to allow the app to access files on your Mac: Safely open apps on your Mac, and maybe this: Control access to files and folders on Mac
If you get something like ""StoryToolkitAI.X.X.X" is damaged and can't be opened" and you downloaded the release from this page, open Terminal in the folder with the app and try to take the app out of Mac quarantine with this command before starting the app:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./StoryToolkitAI.0.16.18.M1.app. More details on the issue here.
Important Note: The first time you transcribe something with a specific model, it will take a bit longer to start the process because Whisper needs to download the model file (around 1.5GB for the medium model) on your local machine. But, after the model is saved on your machine, transcriptions will take less. The same applies for the advanced search function.

Note: The standalone version does not open up the console. If you're interested to see what is happening behind the hood, open a terminal in the folder where you have the tool (typically in your Downloads or Applications folder) and run this command:
./[STORYTOOLKITAI_APP_NAME].app/Contents/MacOS/[STORYTOOLKIT_APP_NAME]
# (but replace [STORYTOOLKIT_APP_NAME] with the name of your release)
