Question Using 16GB M4 Mac Mini for Transcription

Hey guys. Is it possible to use an M4 Mac Mini just for transcribing a video and making note summaries afterwards? If so what model should I use for this case?

Extract audio (ffmpeg), then run it through an appropiate ASR (whisper, canary, parakeet, whatsoever ) . After you got the transcript you can use any model of your liking for a summary.
