whisper VS Chocolatey

Let’s not talk about local models as the hardware requirements are way beyond most of these people’s reach. I have a MacBook Air with an M2 chip and 8GB of RAM and can hardly run Whisper locally, so I use this HuggingFace space.

Last week, I launched notesGPT, a free and open source voice note app that has 35,000 visitors, 7,000 users, and over 1,000 GitHub stars so far in the last week. It allows you to record a voice note, transcribes it uses Whisper, and uses Mixtral via Together to extract action items and display them in an action items view. It’s also fully open source and comes equipped with authentication, storage, vector search, action items, and is fully responsive on mobile for ease of use.

I found a pretty good discussion in the topic here:

https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/1243

There is a plot of language performance on their repo: https://github.com/openai/whisper

I am not aware of a multi-lingual leaderboard for speech recognition models.

I don't know how OP does it, but here's how I'd do it:

* Generate a transcript by runing Whisper against the podcast audio file: https://github.com/openai/whisper

* Upload transcript to ChatGPT and ask it to summarize.

* Automate all the above.

Ahh, that makes sense. I've been building something like that, but only from other languages into English using Whisper

Whisper already generates subtitles[0], supporting VTT and SRT so this is just a thin wrapper around that.

Maybe you can rely on some sort of speaker identification to sort this out?

v3 only comes in one flavor: large.

I don’t think you’re going to have a good time running the large model on a Pi of any kind.

The large models are 32x slower than the tiny models, roughly.[0]

I’m seeing people report that the Pi 4 can transcribe 30 seconds of audio in somewhere between 30 seconds and 60 seconds with the tiny model.

You can do the math… 32x = 16 minutes to 32 minutes to transcribe 30 seconds of audio with the large model. Not a good time for most people.

The Pi 5 could be 2x to 3x faster.

I should benchmark my Pi 4 sometime (or Pi 5, if it ever shows up).

Chocolatey Windows software management solution, we use this for installing Python and Deno

Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

On a Windows machine, you can use Chocolatey by running the command.

I've used WSL2 and GHC/Nix--worked without any issues. However, there is Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.

Type the following commands on the Windows terminal to install helm. You can use either Scoop a command-line installer for Windows or Chocolatey which is a Package Manager for Windows to install helm.

While you can install it in many ways, the easiest is using a package manager like Homebrew for macOS or chocolatey for Windows.
