⚙️Tool of the Day

Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised data collected from the web. It enables transcription in multiple languages, as well as translation from those languages into English.

The Whisper architecture is a simple end-to-end approach, implemented as an encoder-decoder Transformer. Input audio is split into 30-second chunks, converted into a log-Mel spectrogram, and then passed into an encoder. A decoder is trained to predict the corresponding text caption, intermixed with special tokens that direct the single model to perform tasks such as language identification, phrase-level timestamps, multilingual speech transcription, and to-English speech translation.

Step 3: Run Whisper

Command Line - First, we'll use Whisper from the command line. Simply open up a terminal and navigate into the directory in which your audio file lies.
