+ Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multitasking model that can perform multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, and language identification.
9
+
10
+
11
+ ## Approach
12
+
13
+ ![Approach](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/whisper/main/approach.png)
14
+
15
+ A Transformer sequence-to-sequence model is trained on various speech processing tasks, including multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, spoken language identification, and voice activity detection. These tasks are jointly represented as a sequence of tokens to be predicted by the decoder, allowing a single model to replace many stages of a traditional speech-processing pipeline. The multitask training format uses a set of special tokens that serve as task specifiers or classification targets.
16
+
17
+
18
+ ## Setup
19
+
20
+ We used Python 3.9.9 and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) 1.10.1 to train and test our models, but the codebase is expected to be compatible with Python 3.8-3.11 and recent PyTorch versions. The codebase also depends on a few Python packages, most notably [OpenAI's tiktoken](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken) for their fast tokenizer implementation. You can download and install (or update to) the latest release of Whisper with the following command:
21
+
22
+ pip install -U openai-whisper
23
+
24
+ Alternatively, the following command will pull and install the latest commit from this repository, along with its Python dependencies:
25
+
26
+ pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
27
+
28
+ To update the package to the latest version of this repository, please run:
29
+
30
+ pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
31
+
32
+ It also requires the command-line tool [`ffmpeg`](https://ffmpeg.org/) to be installed on your system, which is available from most package managers:
33
+
34
+ ```bash
35
+ # on Ubuntu or Debian
36
+ sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg
37
+
38
+ # on Arch Linux
39
+ sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
40
+
41
+ # on MacOS using Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
42
+ brew install ffmpeg
43
+
44
+ # on Windows using Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/)
45
+ choco install ffmpeg
46
+
47
+ # on Windows using Scoop (https://scoop.sh/)
48
+ scoop install ffmpeg
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ You may need [`rust`](http://rust-lang.org) installed as well, in case [tiktoken](https://github.com/openai/tiktoken) does not provide a pre-built wheel for your platform. If you see installation errors during the `pip install` command above, please follow the [Getting started page](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started) to install Rust development environment. Additionally, you may need to configure the `PATH` environment variable, e.g. `export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"`. If the installation fails with `No module named 'setuptools_rust'`, you need to install `setuptools_rust`, e.g. by running:
52
+
53
+ ```bash
54
+ pip install setuptools-rust
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+
58
+ ## Available models and languages
59
+
60
+ There are five model sizes, four with English-only versions, offering speed and accuracy tradeoffs. Below are the names of the available models and their approximate memory requirements and relative speed.
61
+
62
+
63
+ | Size | Parameters | English-only model | Multilingual model | Required VRAM | Relative speed |
64
+ |:------:|:----------:|:------------------:|:------------------:|:-------------:|:--------------:|
65
+ | tiny | 39 M | `tiny.en` | `tiny` | ~1 GB | ~32x |
66
+ | base | 74 M | `base.en` | `base` | ~1 GB | ~16x |
67
+ | small | 244 M | `small.en` | `small` | ~2 GB | ~6x |
68
+ | medium | 769 M | `medium.en` | `medium` | ~5 GB | ~2x |
69
+ | large | 1550 M | N/A | `large` | ~10 GB | 1x |
70
+
71
+ The `.en` models for English-only applications 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.
72
+
73
+ Whisper's performance varies widely depending on the language. The figure below shows a WER (Word Error Rate) breakdown by languages of the Fleurs dataset using the `large-v2` model (The smaller the numbers, the better the performance). Additional WER scores corresponding to the other models and datasets can be found in Appendix D.1, D.2, and D.4. Meanwhile, more BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) scores can be found in Appendix D.3. Both are found in [the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356).
74
+
75
+ ![WER breakdown by language](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/whisper/main/language-breakdown.svg)
76
+
77
+
78
+
79
+ ## Command-line usage
80
+
81
+ The following command will transcribe speech in audio files, using the `medium` model:
82
+
83
+ whisper audio.flac audio.mp3 audio.wav --model medium
84
+
85
+ The default setting (which selects the `small` model) works well for transcribing English. To transcribe an audio file containing non-English speech, you can specify the language using the `--language` option:
86
+
87
+ whisper japanese.wav --language Japanese
88
+
89
+ Adding `--task translate` will translate the speech into English:
90
+
91
+ whisper japanese.wav --language Japanese --task translate
92
+
93
+ Run the following to view all available options:
94
+
95
+ whisper --help
96
+
97
+ See [tokenizer.py](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/tokenizer.py) for the list of all available languages.
98
+
99
+
100
+ ## Python usage
101
+
102
+ Transcription can also be performed within Python:
103
+
104
+ ```python
105
+ import whisper
106
+
107
+ model = whisper.load_model("base")
108
+ result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
109
+ print(result["text"])
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ Internally, the `transcribe()` method reads the entire file and processes the audio with a sliding 30-second window, performing autoregressive sequence-to-sequence predictions on each window.
113
+
114
+ Below is an example usage of `whisper.detect_language()` and `whisper.decode()` which provide lower-level access to the model.
115
+
116
+ ```python
117
+ import whisper
118
+
119
+ model = whisper.load_model("base")
120
+
121
+ # load audio and pad/trim it to fit 30 seconds
122
+ audio = whisper.load_audio("audio.mp3")
123
+ audio = whisper.pad_or_trim(audio)
124
+
125
+ # make log-Mel spectrogram and move to the same device as the model
126
+ mel = whisper.log_mel_spectrogram(audio).to(model.device)
127
+
128
+ # detect the spoken language
129
+ _, probs = model.detect_language(mel)
130
+ print(f"Detected language: {max(probs, key=probs.get)}")
131
+
132
+ # decode the audio
133
+ options = whisper.DecodingOptions()
134
+ result = whisper.decode(model, mel, options)
135
+
136
+ # print the recognized text
137
+ print(result.text)
138
+ ```

+ # Model Card: Whisper
2
+
3
+ This is the official codebase for running the automatic speech recognition (ASR) models (Whisper models) trained and released by OpenAI.
4
+
5
+ Following [Model Cards for Model Reporting (Mitchell et al.)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.03993), we're providing some information about the automatic speech recognition model. More information on how these models were trained and evaluated can be found [in the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356).

8
+ ## Model Details
9
+
10
+ The Whisper models are trained for speech recognition and translation tasks, capable of transcribing speech audio into the text in the language it is spoken (ASR) as well as translated into English (speech translation). Researchers at OpenAI developed the models to study the robustness of speech processing systems trained under large-scale weak supervision. There are 9 models of different sizes and capabilities, summarized in the following table.
11

12
+ | Size | Parameters | English-only model | Multilingual model |
13
+ |:------:|:----------:|:------------------:|:------------------:|

+ ## Model Use
37
+
38
+ ### Evaluated Use
39
+
40
+ The primary intended users of these models are AI researchers studying the robustness, generalization, capabilities, biases, and constraints of the current model. However, Whisper is also potentially quite useful as an ASR solution for developers, especially for English speech recognition. We recognize that once models are released, it is impossible to restrict access to only “intended” uses or to draw reasonable guidelines around what is or is not research.
41
+
42
+ The models are primarily trained and evaluated on ASR and speech translation to English tasks. They show strong ASR results in ~10 languages. They may exhibit additional capabilities, particularly if fine-tuned on certain tasks like voice activity detection, speaker classification, or speaker diarization but have not been robustly evaluated in these areas. We strongly recommend that users perform robust evaluations of the models in a particular context and domain before deploying them.
43
+
44
+ In particular, we caution against using Whisper models to transcribe recordings of individuals taken without their consent or purporting to use these models for any kind of subjective classification. We recommend against use in high-risk domains like decision-making contexts, where flaws in accuracy can lead to pronounced flaws in outcomes. The models are intended to transcribe and translate speech, use of the model for classification is not only not evaluated but also not appropriate, particularly to infer human attributes.
45
+
46
+
47
+ ## Training Data
48
+
49
+ The models are trained on 680,000 hours of audio and the corresponding transcripts collected from the internet. 65% of this data (or 438,000 hours) represents English-language audio and matched English transcripts, roughly 18% (or 126,000 hours) represents non-English audio and English transcripts, while the final 17% (or 117,000 hours) represents non-English audio and the corresponding transcript. This non-English data represents 98 different languages.
50
+
51
+ As discussed in [the accompanying paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356), we see that performance on transcription in a given language is directly correlated with the amount of training data we employ in that language.
52
+
53
+
54
+ ## Performance and Limitations
55
+
56
+ Our studies show that, over many existing ASR systems, the models exhibit improved robustness to accents, background noise, and technical language, as well as zero-shot translation from multiple languages into English; and that accuracy on speech recognition and translation is near the state-of-the-art level.
57
+
58
+ However, because the models are trained in a weakly supervised manner using large-scale noisy data, the predictions may include texts that are not actually spoken in the audio input (i.e. hallucination). We hypothesize that this happens because, given their general knowledge of language, the models combine trying to predict the next word in audio with trying to transcribe the audio itself.
59
+
60
+ Our models perform unevenly across languages, and we observe lower accuracy on low-resource and/or low-discoverability languages or languages where we have less training data. The models also exhibit disparate performance on different accents and dialects of particular languages, which may include a higher word error rate across speakers of different genders, races, ages, or other demographic criteria. Our full evaluation results are presented in [the paper accompanying this release](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356).
61
+
62
+ In addition, the sequence-to-sequence architecture of the model makes it prone to generating repetitive texts, which can be mitigated to some degree by beam search and temperature scheduling but not perfectly. Further analysis of these limitations is provided in [the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356). It is likely that this behavior and hallucinations may be worse in lower-resource and/or lower-discoverability languages.
63
+
64
+
65
+ ## Broader Implications
66
+
67
+ We anticipate that Whisper models’ transcription capabilities may be used for improving accessibility tools. While Whisper models cannot be used for real-time transcription out of the box – their speed and size suggest that others may be able to build applications on top of them that allow for near-real-time speech recognition and translation. The real value of beneficial applications built on top of Whisper models suggests that the disparate performance of these models may have real economic implications.
68
+
69
+ There are also potential dual-use concerns that come with releasing Whisper. While we hope the technology will be used primarily for beneficial purposes, making ASR technology more accessible could enable more actors to build capable surveillance technologies or scale up existing surveillance efforts, as the speed and accuracy allow for affordable automatic transcription and translation of large volumes of audio communication. Moreover, these models may have some capabilities to recognize specific individuals out of the box, which in turn presents safety concerns related both to dual use and disparate performance. In practice, we expect that the cost of transcription is not the limiting factor of scaling up surveillance projects.
