GPU for Diarization? #14

First, thanks for making this software. I really like it.

I am using the latest Aug 2025 release, but having an issue. And please keep in mind I'm a complete noob new to this and learning as I go, so I have extremely limited knowledge of Python, etc.

Once the diarization identifies how many unique speakers in the console window, it hangs with "Not Responding" and the blue spinning circle and never completes, even leaving overnight. Checking Task Manager, I see it is running CPU only during diarization process and my CPU is terrible, so I assume that is the problem. A short file with less speakers does complete eventually, so I know it works; however, I need this diarization to complete on my larger files.

Is there a way to get it to use my GPU instead of CPU with SoftWhisper? If so, how do I go about that? I feel that should solve the issue.
