| # Whisper distil-large-v2 model for CTranslate2 | |
| This repository contains the conversion of [distil-whisper/distil-large-v2](https://huggingface.co/distil-whisper/distil-large-v2) to the [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) model format. | |
| This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as [faster-whisper](https://github.com/systran/faster-whisper). | |
| ## Example | |
| ```python | |
| from faster_whisper import WhisperModel | |
| model = WhisperModel("distil-large-v2") | |
| segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3") | |
| for segment in segments: | |
| print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text)) | |
| ``` | |
| ## Conversion details | |
| The original model was converted with the following command: | |
| ``` | |
| ct2-transformers-converter --model distil-whisper/distil-large-v2 --output_dir faster-distil-whisper-large-v2 \ | |
| --copy_files tokenizer.json preprocessor_config.json --quantization float16 | |
| ``` | |
| Note that the model weights are saved in FP16. This type can be changed when the model is loaded using the [`compute_type` option in CTranslate2](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html). | |
| ## More information | |
