Kara-Audio can be easily installed with one click. Just run 🚀configure.bat and 🚀start.bat

• A. Paid version
  • Unzip the compressed file (kara-audio-x.zip) included in the USB to an appropriate location on your computer.
  • Or, copy the already unzipped folder (kara-audio-x) to an appropriate location on your computer.
• B. Free version
  • Clone or download the latest release (Source code (zip)) from

1. 🚀 Run configure.bat
   • Install git, ffmpeg and CUDA (if using NVIDIA GPU) on Windows.
   • You only need to run it the first time.
   • An internet connection is required, and it may take over an hour depending on the system.
   • Never close the Windows-Command window during installation.
2. 🚀 Run start.bat
   • Start Kara-Audio. Web-UI will run automatically.
   • When running for the first time, Kara-Audio is installed first.
   • An internet connection is required, and it may take over an hour depending on the system.
   • Never close the Windows-Command window during installation.
   • If a problem occurs during installation, delete the installer_files folder and run start.bat again.

• Run uninstall.bat:
  • Remove the installer_files folder.
  • Remove ffmepg, git and CUDA packages installed on Windows (if selected)
• Kara-Audio has portable installation as standard. To uninstall the program, deleting the installation folder is sufficient.

• Close the Windows-Commnad window and run start.bat again.
• Run the browser directly and enter the address displayed in the Windows-Command window (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:7892) in the address bar.

• Check the GPU memory status in Windows Task Manager - Performance tab.
• Set the Denoise level to 0 or 1. Denoise level 2 requires at least 8GB of GPU memory.
• Set Compute Type to int type. The float type has better quality, but requires more GPU memory.

• The quality of subtitles tends to improve with larger Whisper models, but this is not necessarily the case. large > medium > small > base > tiny
• Among compute types, float type has good performance. The int type is a model that reduces GPU usage and increases speed through model quantization. On the other hand, performance decreases.
• If you increase the denoise level, more background sounds will be removed, and only the remaining voice will be used for voice recognition. It does not always guarantee good results.

• Facebook Research's Demucs models (htdemucs, htdemucs_6s, htdemucs_ft, mdx_extra) all show good performance.
• Demucs runs quite well even on low-end PCs (8GB of RAM).
• In MDX-Net, UVR-MDX-NET-Voc_FT, Kim_Vocal_2, UVR_MDXNET_KARA_2, etc. show good performance.
• MDX-Net models only operate on high-end PCs (RAM 16GB or more).
• Try using the models one by one and find one that suits your purpose.
• We recommend using the latest NVIDIA GPU (VRAM 6GB or higher). Out-of-memory errors may occur if VRAM is insufficient.

• Large-V2 model is best. The rest have poor recognition rates.
• If the audio language is 'Korean', it is best to set the Whisper language to 'Korean' as well.
• When the audio language is 'Korean', if you set the Whisper language to 'Japanese', 'Japanese' will be output, but the accuracy will be low. (Google Translator is better.)
• The Denoise option removes noise using the MDX-Net model. Voice recognition results may improve. (Use only on high-end PC)

Windows Defender may give a warning about untrusted application and disallow further execution of Kara-Audio. If SmartScreen security level is set to "Warn", just click "More info" and then click "Run anyway". If SmartScreen is set to level "Block" there will be no button to run the installation. In this case, open the properties of the start.bat file, and check "Unblock", apply the change and run the start.bat again.

When Windows Defender mistakenly recognizes a batch file as a Trojan, this is often called a 'False Positive'. To solve this problem, you can go through the following steps:

1. File exception handling: In Windows Defender, you can set certain files or processes to skip security scanning. To do this, follow the steps below:
   • Click the ‘Start’ button and go to ‘Settings’.
   • Click ‘Update & Security’.
   • Select ‘Windows Security’ and go to ‘Virus & threat protection’.
   • Click ‘Manage Virus & Threat Protection Settings’.
   • Select 'Add exception' in 'Virus & threat protection settings'.
   • Select 'File or Folder', find the batch file in question and add it as an exception.
2. Temporarily disable Windows Defender: This may be a temporary solution. However, you must be careful when using this method as it may expose your computer to other threats.
3. Report the problem to anti-virus software: If you are sure that the file is not a Trojan horse, you can report it to Microsoft as a False Positive. Microsoft will review this and take any necessary action.
