| # Whisper base model for CTranslate2 |
|
|
| This repository contains the conversion of [openai/whisper-base](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-base) to the [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) model format. |
|
|
| This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as [faster-whisper](https://github.com/systran/faster-whisper). |
|
|
| ## Example |
|
|
| ```python |
| from faster_whisper import WhisperModel |
| |
| model = WhisperModel("base") |
| |
| segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3") |
| for segment in segments: |
| print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text)) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Conversion details |
|
|
| The original model was converted with the following command: |
|
|
| ``` |
| ct2-transformers-converter --model openai/whisper-base --output_dir faster-whisper-base \ |
| --copy_files tokenizer.json --quantization float16 |
| ``` |
|
|
| Note that the model weights are saved in FP16. This type can be changed when the model is loaded using the [`compute_type` option in CTranslate2](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html). |
|
|
| ## More information |
|
|
| **For more information about the original model, see its [model card](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-base).** |
