SOTA ASR Tooling: Long-Form Transcription
Author compared various whisper implementation
"We found that WhisperX is the best framework for transcribing long audio files efficiently and accurately. It’s much better than using the standard openai-whisper library."

OpenVoice: Versatile Instant Voice Cloning
Whisper doesn't, but WhisperX <https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX/> does. I am using it right now and it's perfectly serviceable.
For reference, I'm transcribing research-related podcasts, meaning speech doesn't overlap a lot, which would be a problem for WhisperX from what I understand. There's also a lot of accents, which are straining on Whisper (though it's also doing well), but surely help WhisperX. It did have issues with figuring number of speakers on it's own, but that wasn't a problem for my use case.

Subtitle is now open-source
I've had good results with whisperx when I needed to generate captions. https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX
There is currently a problem with diarization, but otherwise, it is SOTA.

Whisper Turbo: transcribe 20x faster than realtime using Rust and WebGPU
Neat to see a new implementation, although I'll note that for those looking for a drop-in replacement for the whisper library, I believe that both faster-whisper https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper and https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX are easier (PyTorch-based, doesn't require a web browser), and a lot faster (WhisperX is up to 70X realtime).
