## Installation on WSL
If for some reason you hate yourself and you want to use that malware bundled as an operating system that is Windows some issues might occur, even when using the windows subsystem for linux.
### Step 1-4
Same as in the GNU+Linux install
### Step 5
If you get the error:
```bash
Could not load library libcudnn_cnn_infer.so.8. Error: libcuda.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
You can solve it by:
1. Go to the library directory `cd /usr/lib/wsl/lib`
1. Backup the libraries you're going to fuck up just in case `mv libcuda.so.1 libcuda.so.1.bkp` and `mv libcuda.so.1 libcuda.so.bkp`
1. Then symlink the one that works as the ones that don't `ln -s libcuda.so.1.1 libcuda.so.1` and `ln -s libcuda.so.1.1 libcuda.so`
1. Finally update the symlinks `sudo ldconfig`
After that it should hopefully also work on WSL, if it doesn't just format your C: drive and install Linux ^^.
## Usage
Change the name of the file you want to transcribe in the code, make sure it's on the same folder as the program (or give the path in the code). Run the code `python app.py`. Enjoy the transcript.
