 ## Installation
 
@@ -16,24 +17,25 @@ Prerequisites:
 - git for cloning this repo
 - Python 3.8 or higher, with pip
 
-For faster results, it is recommended to use a GPU with CUDA support.
+For faster results, it is recommended to use a GPU with CUDA support. Running transcription on the CPU is significantly slower (up to 10~20x slower, depending on the hardware).  
+The optional dependencies required for GPU acceleration can be installed with the `[cuda]` extra when installing the package.
 
-Install the latest version from the repository:
+### Install latest release
+Use the following to install the latest release in an isolated environment using [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io), with CUDA libraries for GPU acceleration:
 ```shell
-pip install 'git+https://github.com/andreabak/whispersubs.git'
+pipx install whispersubs[cuda]
 ```
-Or with CUDA libraries for GPU acceleration:
-```shell
-pip install 'whispersubs[cuda] @ git+https://github.com/andreabak/whispersubs.git'
-```
-Or using pipx to install globally in an isolated environment:
-```shell
-pipx install 'git+https://github.com/andreabak/whispersubs.git'
-```
-Or with pipx and CUDA libraries for GPU acceleration:
+
+N.B. omit the `[cuda]` extra if you don't have a GPU or don't want to use it.
+
+Replace `pipx` with `pip` from the command above if you want to manually manage your own environment (or install user- or system-wide).
+
+### Install repository version
+You can install the latest version from this repository with the following command:
 ```shell
 pipx install 'whispersubs[cuda] @ git+https://github.com/andreabak/whispersubs.git'
 ```
+Usually this is going to be the same as the latest release, but it might contain some additional features or bugfixes that are not yet released.
 
 ## Usage
 WhisperSubs can be used from the command line. The basic usage requires an input file, which will be the source for the transcription. The output will be a subtitle file in the SRT format in the same directory as the input file. The language will be automatically detected.
