whisper-large-v3

The whisper-large-v3 model is a general-purpose speech recognition model developed by OpenAI. It is the latest version of the Whisper model, building on the previous Whisper large models. The whisper-large-v3 model has a few minor architectural differences from the previous large models, including using 128 Mel frequency bins instead of 80 and adding a new language token for Cantonese. The Whisper model was trained on a massive 680,000 hours of audio data, with 65% English data, 18% non-English data with English transcripts, and 17% non-English data with non-English transcripts covering 98 languages. This allows the model to perform well on a diverse range of speech recognition and translation tasks, without needing to fine-tune on specific datasets. Similar Whisper models include the Whisper medium, Whisper tiny, and the whisper-large-v3 model developed by Nate Raw. There is also an incredibly fast version of the Whisper large model by Vaibhav Srivastav. Model inputs and outputs The whisper-large-v3 model takes audio samples as input and generates text transcripts as output. The audio can be in any of the 98 languages covered by the training data. The model can also be used for speech translation, where it generates text in a different language than the audio. Inputs Audio samples in any of the 98 languages the model was trained on Outputs Text transcripts of the audio in the same language Translated text transcripts in a different language Capabilities The whisper-large-v3 model demonstrates strong performance on a variety of speech recognition and translation tasks, with 10-20% lower error rates compared to the previous Whisper large model. It is robust to accents, background noise, and technical language, and can perform zero-shot translation from multiple languages into English. However, the model's performance is uneven across languages, with lower accuracy on low-resource and low-discoverability languages where less training data was available. It also has a tendency to generate repetitive or hallucinated text that is not actually present in the audio input. What can I use it for? The primary intended use of the Whisper models is for AI researchers studying model capabilities, robustness, and limitations. However, the models can also be quite useful as a speech recognition solution for developers, especially for English transcription tasks. The Whisper models could be used to build applications that improve accessibility, such as closed captioning or voice-to-text transcription. While the models cannot be used for real-time transcription out of the box, their speed and size suggest that others may be able to build near-real-time applications on top of them. Things to try One interesting aspect of the Whisper models is their ability to perform speech translation, generating text transcripts in a different language than the audio input. Developers could experiment with using the model for tasks like simultaneous interpretation or multilingual subtitling. Another avenue to explore is fine-tuning the pre-trained Whisper model on specific datasets or domains. The blog post Fine-Tune Whisper with Transformers provides a guide on how to fine-tune the model with as little as 5 hours of labeled data, which can improve performance on particular languages or use cases.

The whisper-large-v2 model is a pre-trained Transformer-based encoder-decoder model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. Trained on 680k hours of labeled data by OpenAI, Whisper models demonstrate a strong ability to generalize to many datasets and domains without the need for fine-tuning. Compared to the original Whisper large model, the whisper-large-v2 model has been trained for 2.5x more epochs with added regularization for improved performance. Model inputs and outputs Inputs Audio samples**: The model takes audio samples as input and performs either speech recognition or speech translation. Outputs Text transcription**: The model outputs text transcriptions of the input audio. For speech recognition, the transcription is in the same language as the audio. For speech translation, the transcription is in a different language than the audio. Timestamps (optional)**: The model can optionally output timestamps for the transcribed text. Capabilities The whisper-large-v2 model exhibits improved robustness to accents, background noise, and technical language compared to many existing ASR systems. It also demonstrates strong zero-shot translation capabilities, allowing it to translate speech from multiple languages into English with high accuracy. What can I use it for? The whisper-large-v2 model can be a useful tool for developers building speech recognition and translation applications. Its strong generalization capabilities suggest it may be particularly valuable for tasks like improving accessibility through real-time captioning, language translation, and other speech-to-text use cases. However, the model's performance can vary across languages, accents, and demographics, so users should carefully evaluate its performance in their specific domain before deployment. Things to try One interesting aspect of the whisper-large-v2 model is its ability to perform long-form transcription of audio samples longer than 30 seconds. By using a chunking algorithm, the model can transcribe audio of arbitrary length, making it a useful tool for transcribing podcasts, lectures, and other long-form audio content. Users can also experiment with fine-tuning the model on their own data to further improve its performance for specific use cases.
