# Whisper large v2 SpeechBrain

This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech
recognition from an end-to-end whisper model within
SpeechBrain. Please note that this is not an official Speechbrain repository.

## Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install tranformers and SpeechBrain with the following command:

```
pip install speechbrain transformers==4.28.0
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Transcribing your own audio files

```python

from speechbrain.pretrained import WhisperASR

asr_model = WhisperASR.from_hparams(source="chaanks/asr-whisper-large-v2-sb", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-whisper-large-v2-sb")
asr_model.transcribe_file("chaanks/asr-whisper-large-v2-sb/example.wav")


```
### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add  `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}`  when calling the `from_hparams` method.


### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
