Configuring the Engine

=== ":octicons-file-code-16: openai_whisper" sh export ASR_ENGINE=openai_whisper === ":octicons-file-code-16: faster_whisper" sh export ASR_ENGINE=faster_whisper

Configuring the Model

export ASR_MODEL=base

Available ASR_MODELs are tiny, base, small, medium, large (only OpenAI Whisper), large-v1, large-v2 and large-v3 (only OpenAI Whisper for now).

For English-only applications, the .en models tend to perform better, especially for the tiny.en and base.en models. We observed that the difference becomes less significant for the small.en and medium.en models.

Configuring the Model Path

export ASR_MODEL_PATH=/data/whisper
