Whisper is great. You can get faster results running the tiny model. I used it for podcast transcription and it is much faster and the quality is not worse than the medium model - there are some podcast episodes that the transcription is the same.
- alach11 4y agoIf speed is important, you're much better off using a larger model and whisper.cpp.
- pantalaimon 4y agoWow thank you! That's a nice speedup indeed, with whisper I get 33,53s user 2,05s system 443% cpu 8,023 total with the 'tiny.en' model whereas whisper.cpp gives me 22,71s user 0,12s system 745% cpu 3,062 total with the 'base.en' model for a 15s audio clip on an i7-3770 (8 threads).
- alach11 4y agoAwesome! Thanks for posting the stats. In my workflows I've found rare but noticeable quality differences between the model sizes. So when practical I try to use the larger ones.
