Thanks! Another question that's only slightly related, but while we're here... Using OAI's paid Whisper API, you can give a text prompt to a) set the tone/style of the transcription and b) teach it technical terms, names etc that it might not be familiar with and should expect in the audio to transcribe. Am I correct that this isn't possible with any released versions of Whisper, or is there a way to do it on my machine that I'm not aware of?

You can definitely do this with the open source version. Many transcription implementations use it to maintain context between the max-30-second chunks Whisper natively supports.

  I'll try to understand some of how stuff like faster-whisper works when I've got time over the weekend, but I fear it may be too complex for me... I was rather hoping for a guide of just how to either adapt classic whisper usage or adapt one of the optimised ones like faster-whisper (which I've just set up in a docker container but that's used up all the time I've got for playing around right now) to take a text prompt with the audio file.
