Whisper command line client compatible with original OpenAI client based on CTranslate2.
It uses CTranslate2 and Faster-whisper Whisper implementation that is up to 4 times faster than openai/whisper for the same accuracy while using less memory.
Goals of the project:
- Provide an easy way to use the CTranslate2 Whisper implementation
- Easy the migration for people using OpenAI Whisper CLI
Just type:
pip install -U whisper-ctranslate2
Alternatively, the following command will pull and install the latest commit from this repository, along with its Python dependencies:
pip install https://github.com/jordimas/whisper-ctranslate2
Same command line that OpenAI whisper.
