A useful little script for quickly transcribing English speech-to-text using OpenAI's Whisper models.

Setting Up

You'll need:

• Python 3.9+ (3.11.x recommended)
• 3 minutes of your time

To get started:

• Install pip dependencies into a new virtualenv

  python -m venv env && source env/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements

• Run main.py with the input/output files you want to transcribe:

  python -m main -i myrecording.mp3 -o output.txt

• Check output.txt to see the result. You can also change the Whisper model with:

  python -m main -i myrecording.mp3 -o output.txt -m medium.en

  Valid Whisper models are:

  • tiny.en
  • base.en
  • small.en
  • medium.en
