Multilingual speech recognition and translation w/ Whisper

You can now transcribe and translate speech for over 100 different languages, directly in your browser, with Whisper! Play around with our demo application here.

Example: Transcribe English.

let url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/jfk.wav';
let transcriber = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'Xenova/whisper-tiny.en');
let output = await transcriber(url);
// { text: " And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." }

Example: Transcribe English w/ timestamps.

let url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/jfk.wav';
let transcriber = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'Xenova/whisper-tiny.en');
let output = await transcriber(url, { return_timestamps: true });
// {
//   text: " And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
//   chunks: [
//     { timestamp: [0, 8],  text: " And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you" }
//     { timestamp: [8, 11], text: " ask what you can do for your country." }
//   ]
// }

Example: Transcribe French.

let url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/french-audio.mp3';
let transcriber = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'Xenova/whisper-small');
let output = await transcriber(url, { language: 'french', task: 'transcribe' });
// { text: " J'adore, j'aime, je n'aime pas, je déteste." }

Example: Translate French to English.

let url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/Xenova/transformers.js-docs/resolve/main/french-audio.mp3';
let transcriber = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'Xenova/whisper-small');
let output = await transcriber(url, { language: 'french', task: 'translate' });
// { text: " I love, I like, I don't like, I hate." }
