What is Whisper?

Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI, designed to transcribe and translate audio efficiently and accurately. It supports multiple languages and use cases, ranging from real-time transcription to audio-based translation.

About This Executable

The Soenneker.Libraries.Whisper.CTranslate package provides a Windows executable version of Whisper using the Faster-Whisper implementation with CTranslate2. This implementation is up to 4 times faster than OpenAI’s original Whisper system, maintaining the same accuracy while requiring less memory.

Features

  • No Python installation is needed: Simple to deploy and use for Windows users.
  • Daily Updates: This package is updated daily, including updates from its entire dependency chain and the source repository.
  • CUDA Support: GPU transcoding via CUDA is fully supported for faster processing on compatible systems.

Installation Options

You can obtain the executable in the following ways:

1. Release Installation

Download the latest release directly from the Releases section on GitHub.

2. NuGet Package Installation

dotnet install Soenneker.Libraries.Whisper.CTranslate

After installing via NuGet, the executable will be located at /Resources/whisper_ctranslate2.exe within your project.

Usage Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to use the executable:

Basic Transcription

Use the following command in PowerShell to transcribe an input audio file:

./whisper_ctranslate2.exe input.mp3 --model medium

This command will automatically download the required model from HuggingFace if it’s not already available locally.

Subtitles Generation

Generate subtitles (in SRT format) from an input audio file:

./whisper-ctranslate2 input.mp3 --model medium --output-format srt

Specify a Language

If you know the language of the input audio, specify it to improve accuracy and speed:

./whisper-ctranslate2 input.mp3 --model medium --language en

Help Command

To see all available options and arguments:

./whisper_ctranslate2 --help

Source Code and Custom Builds

The source code and instructions for building the executable yourself can be found in the Soenneker.Runners.Whisper.CTranslate repository.
