The primary logger (beta) is here. It will work without any keyword files or script files, but those are included (As a demo) below.
Quick Start Guide
Windows Installation Guide
the quick start guide above was generated by ChatGPT. The instructions below were performed on a windows 11 installation with no prerequisites except python in place. It was shown to work, though it was a bit slower than when operating on a Mac. it was also noted that whisper did not completely capture callsigns properly (listed in the callsign box), but this was only a quick test. more testing will be done, and the process and installation will be improved as time allows.
Prerequisites. With the exception of Python, the installations are performed at the windows command prompt. command line text is provided below.
- Python
- Ffmpeg
- FastAPI
- Faster whisper
- Uvicorn
- Revlogger webpage (best if it’s run from a local drive)
- (optional) – script, common reports, and keyword files.
- Install Python. Ensure that the system path checkbox is checked during installation. Version may be checked using the command:
python –version <enter>
if this returns a version, such as “Python 3.11.0”, python is installed and operational.
2. Install ffmpeg
winget install ffmpeg
3. restart the computer to refresh system variables.
4. Install fastapi
pip install “fastapi[standard]”
<em>(if python throws a pip error:)</em>
python pip -m install -U openai-whisper
5. Install faster whisper
pip install faster-whisper
<em>(or, if python throws a pip error)</em>
python pip -m install -U faster-whisper
6. uvicorn is a prerequisite, though it was already installed for me.
7. Download Rev-Logger (2026 April 18 or later) (below).
8. Download the patched server (26May16 or later) (below).
9. Download the optional script, keyword, and common reports CSV templates (below), and edit as you desire.
10. Place the server and Rev-Logger HTML files in the same location.
Rev-Logger
Note: Operates best under Chrome.
This is a ZIP file with the HTML inside, because WordPress kept stripping the button scripts off the file.
Required Files
The following files are required for operation
Optional Files
If you want Net Script files, here is an example. Download this, and then click the “Import Script CSV” button
If you want certain keywords highlighted throughout the event, download this keyword file and modify it as needed:
If the “common reports” dropdown is to be populated, here is an example / sample CSV list. Like the others, download it, modify it, and load it as desired.
Previous Releases
3-24 version adds a feature to provide common reports as a dropdown. A single column CSV containing things like “Hail, Quarter”. This saves the user some typing. The dropdown only shows up when a CSV is loaded. Note that multiple reports can be loaded in sequence by using the dropdown multiple times.
RevLog 2026-03-22 is the original release, and includes all planned functionality, plus some requests from the original user groups. The file also includes help files and walkthroughs. Note: Operates best under Chrome.
Software Requirement Specification
This is the file I uploaded into ChatGPT to generate the initial operational versions of Rev-Logger. Once those versions were generated, I began tweaking the UI, the features, and the overall package until everything worked as desired. I then had GPT update the SRS to account for changes made and overall operational model.
