Faster Whisper CLI is a Python package that provides an easy-to-use interface for generating transcriptions and translations from audio files using pre-trained Transformer-based models.
This CLI version of Faster Whisper allows you to quickly transcribe or translate an audio file using a command-line interface.
You can install Faster Whisper CLI using pip:
pip install faster-whisper-cli
To use Faster Whisper CLI, simply run the faster-whisper command followed by the path to the input audio file:
faster-whisper path/to/audio.wav
This will transcribe the audio file using the default settings and print the output to the console.
You can also specify various options to customize the transcription process:
