Following the instructions in the Readme, I get:

╰─(base) ⠠⠵ ts-node src/process_scenes.ts --node                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               on master↑1|✚16…17
Error preparing scenes: src/lib/Bark.ts:5:32 - error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'whisper-node'. '/home/arthur/dev/ai/manga/node_modules/whisper-node/dist/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm i --save-dev @types/whisper-node` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'whisper-node';`

5 import whisper            from 'whisper-node';
                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried npm i --save-dev @types/whisper-node and got nothing more.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

PS: My tsconfig in case it's relevant:

{
  "compilerOptions": {

    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,

    "target": "es6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["src/*"]
    },
  }
}

PS: doing:

// @ts-ignore
import whisper            from 'whisper-node';

solves the problem temporarily, but I'd really like a "clean" way out.

then when I am able to run it I have another problem:

Not sure about the original error.
But with regards to the last problem, it seems it's related to the file path provided to whisper.

Here's the comment that pointed that out, also providing the fix.
#36 (comment)

Also noticed that in your case you have:
Transcribing: /ram/runner/bark-text-reader-2ksgcnjtjt6//example.wav
And //example.wav part with a double slash doesn't look right.

Hi, regarding the first error, the project does not provide type declaration files.

You can create your own declaration, somewhere in you project (for example src/typing/whisper-node.d.ts) with following content:

declare module 'whisper-node' {
    export type IShellOptions = {
        silent: boolean // true: won't print to console
        async: boolean
    }

    export type IOptions = {
        modelName?: string // name of model stored in node_modules/whisper-node/lib/whisper.cpp/models
        modelPath?: string // custom path for model
        whisperOptions?: IFlagTypes
        shellOptions?: IShellOptions
    }

    export type IFlagTypes = {
        gen_file_txt?: boolean
        gen_file_subtitle?: boolean
        gen_file_vtt?: boolean
        timestamp_size?: number
        word_timestamps?: boolean
        language?: string
    }

    export type ITranscriptLine = {
        start: string
        end: string
        speech: string
    }

    export function whisper(filePath: string, options?: IOptions): Promise<ITranscriptLine[]>
}

I could create a PR, exporting type declarations from original code, but I can't see any CI/CD related config in the project
