whisper-large-v2-cantonese model for CTranslate2

This repository contains the conversion of simonl0909/whisper-large-v2-cantonese to the CTranslate2 model format.

This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as faster-whisper.

Example

Installation

pip install faster-whisper

Usage

python

from faster_whisper import WhisperModel
import datetime
import os

#Confirmed that this code works in faster-whisper 1.02 , numpy 1.23.5 , onnxruntime 1.14.1
#This code will not work if numpy's version exceed 2.0.0 and vad_filter=True

transcribe_audio("audio.mp3", "audio.srt")

Example(transcribe with stable-ts)

Installation

Requires FFmpeg in PATH

python

pip install faster-whisper
pip install stable-ts

Usage

python

import stable_whisper

model = stable_whisper.load_faster_whisper('XA9/faster-whisper-large-v2-cantonese-1-int8', device='cpu', compute_type='int8')
result = model.transcribe_stable('audio.mp3', language='yue', initial_prompt=None,regroup=False, vad=False, condition_on_previous_text=False)
result.to_srt_vtt('audio.srt', word_level=False)

Conversion details

The original model was converted with the following command:

ct2-transformers-converter --model simonl0909/whisper-large-v2-cantonese --output_dir faster-whisper-large-v2-cantonese-1-int8 --copy_files  preprocessor_config.json --quantization int8
