++ for Whisper. I’ve used it transcribing podcasts. It occasionally has problems identifying obscure and unusual words, but it seems to work better than most. When I tested it on an episode of Tetrapod Zoology podcast, it mis-transcribed: "Tetrapod Zoology” as "Tedgeport Zoology” podcast, “Mesozoic Art” as "Mises Ewick Art” and “TetZoo” as “Tetsu” But everything else looks spot on. ( I haven’t checked spelling of proper names, but human transcribers would have trouble there. ) It worked even better on a podcast with less technical jargon and neologisms. There are other ports/implementations of Whisper In C++: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp & Rust: https://github.com/Gadersd/whisper-burn And others using different ML frameworks than PyTorch, which are worth trying if you need more performance. - sdm > On Dec 10, 2023, at 2:52 PM, Sove67 <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Hi Charles, > > I'm not familiar with any on that list, but you may be interested in > Whisper: https://github.com/openai/whisper > > Rather than a traditional "pipeline" ASR software, this model utilizes > machine learning.
