+# Whisper
+
+[[Blog]](https://openai.com/blog/whisper)
+[[Paper]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356)
+[[Model card]](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/model-card.md)
+[[Colab example]](https://colab.research.google.com/github/openai/whisper/blob/master/notebooks/LibriSpeech.ipynb)
+
+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.
+
+
+## Approach
+
+![Approach](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/whisper/main/approach.png)
+
+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.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+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:
+
+    pip install -U openai-whisper
+
+Alternatively, the following command will pull and install the latest commit from this repository, along with its Python dependencies:
+
+    pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git 
+
+To update the package to the latest version of this repository, please run:
+
+    pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
+
+It also requires the command-line tool [`ffmpeg`](https://ffmpeg.org/) to be installed on your system, which is available from most package managers:
+
+```bash
+# on Ubuntu or Debian
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg
+
+# on Arch Linux
+sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
+
+# on MacOS using Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
+brew install ffmpeg
+
+# on Windows using Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/)
+choco install ffmpeg
+
+# on Windows using Scoop (https://scoop.sh/)
+scoop install ffmpeg
+```
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+pip install setuptools-rust
+```
+
+
+## Available models and languages
+
+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. 
+
+
+|  Size  | Parameters | English-only model | Multilingual model | Required VRAM | Relative speed |
+|:------:|:----------:|:------------------:|:------------------:|:-------------:|:--------------:|
+|  tiny  |    39 M    |     `tiny.en`      |       `tiny`       |     ~1 GB     |      ~32x      |
+|  base  |    74 M    |     `base.en`      |       `base`       |     ~1 GB     |      ~16x      |
+| small  |   244 M    |     `small.en`     |      `small`       |     ~2 GB     |      ~6x       |
+| medium |   769 M    |    `medium.en`     |      `medium`      |     ~5 GB     |      ~2x       |
+| large  |   1550 M   |        N/A         |      `large`       |    ~10 GB     |       1x       |
+
+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.
+
+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). 
+
+![WER breakdown by language](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/whisper/main/language-breakdown.svg)
+
+
+
+## Command-line usage
+
+The following command will transcribe speech in audio files, using the `medium` model:
+
+    whisper audio.flac audio.mp3 audio.wav --model medium
+
+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:
+
+    whisper japanese.wav --language Japanese
+
+Adding `--task translate` will translate the speech into English:
+
+    whisper japanese.wav --language Japanese --task translate
+
+Run the following to view all available options:
+
+    whisper --help
+
+See [tokenizer.py](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/tokenizer.py) for the list of all available languages.
+
+
+## Python usage
+
+Transcription can also be performed within Python: 
+
+```python
+import whisper
+
+model = whisper.load_model("base")
+result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
+print(result["text"])
+```
+
+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.
+
+Below is an example usage of `whisper.detect_language()` and `whisper.decode()` which provide lower-level access to the model.
+
+```python
+import whisper
+
+model = whisper.load_model("base")
+
+# load audio and pad/trim it to fit 30 seconds
+audio = whisper.load_audio("audio.mp3")
+audio = whisper.pad_or_trim(audio)
+
+# make log-Mel spectrogram and move to the same device as the model
+mel = whisper.log_mel_spectrogram(audio).to(model.device)
+
+# detect the spoken language
+_, probs = model.detect_language(mel)
+print(f"Detected language: {max(probs, key=probs.get)}")
+
+# decode the audio
+options = whisper.DecodingOptions()
+result = whisper.decode(model, mel, options)
+
+# print the recognized text
+print(result.text)
+```

+We used the test-clean and test-other splits from the [LibriSpeech ASR corpus](https://www.openslr.org/12).
+
+### TED-LIUM 3
+
+We used the test split of [TED-LIUM Release 3](https://www.openslr.org/51/), using the segmented manual transcripts included in the release.
+
+### Common Voice 5.1
+
+We downloaded the English subset of Common Voice Corpus 5.1 from [the official website](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets)
+
+### Artie
+
+We used the [Artie bias corpus](https://github.com/artie-inc/artie-bias-corpus). This is a subset of the Common Voice dataset.
+
+### CallHome & Switchboard
+
+We used the two corpora from [LDC2002S09](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2002S09) and [LDC2002T43](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2002T43) and followed the [eval2000_data_prep.sh](https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/blob/master/egs/fisher_swbd/s5/local/eval2000_data_prep.sh) script for preprocessing. The `wav.scp` files can be converted to WAV files with the following bash commands:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p wav
+while read name cmd; do
+    echo $name
+    echo ${cmd/\|/} wav/$name.wav | bash
+done < wav.scp
+```

+We used [LDC93S6B](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC93S6B) and [LDC94S13B](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC94S13B) and followed the [s5 recipe](https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/tree/master/egs/wsj/s5) to preprocess the dataset.
+
+### CORAAL
+
+We used the 231 interviews from [CORAAL (v. 2021.07)](https://oraal.uoregon.edu/coraal) and used the segmentations from [the FairSpeech project](https://github.com/stanford-policylab/asr-disparities/blob/master/input/CORAAL_transcripts.csv).
+
+### CHiME-6

We then used the binaural recordings (`*_P??.wav`) and the corresponding transcripts.
+
+### AMI-IHM, AMI-SDM1
+
+We preprocessed the [AMI Corpus](https://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/ami/corpus/overview.shtml) by following the stage 0 ad 2 of the [s5b recipe](https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/tree/master/egs/ami/s5b).

+To create a long-form transcription dataset from the [TED-LIUM3](https://www.openslr.org/51/) dataset, we sliced the audio between the beginning of the first labeled segment and the end of the last labeled segment of each talk, and we used the concatenated text as the label. Below are the timestamps used for slicing each of the 11 TED talks in the test split.   
+
+| Filename            | Begin time (s) | End time (s) |
+|---------------------|----------------|--------------|
+| DanBarber_2010      | 16.09          | 1116.24      |

+| BillGates_2010      | 15.861         | 1656.94      |
+| TomWujec_2010U      | 16.26          | 402.17       |
+| GaryFlake_2010      | 16.06          | 367.14       |

+| RobertGupta_2010U   | 16.8           | 387.03       |
+
+### Meanwhile
+
+This dataset consists of 64 segments from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The YouTube video ID, start and end timestamps, and the labels can be found in [meanwhile.json](meanwhile.json). The labels are collected from the closed-caption data for each video and corrected with manual inspection.
+
+### Rev16
+
+We use a subset of 16 files from the 30 podcast episodes in [Rev.AI's Podcast Transcription Benchmark](https://www.rev.ai/blog/podcast-transcription-benchmark-part-1/), after finding that there are multiple cases where a significant portion of the audio and the labels did not match, mostly on the parts introducing the sponsors. We selected 16 episodes that do not have this error, whose "file number" are:
+
+    3 4 9 10 11 14 17 18 20 21 23 24 26 27 29 32
+
+### Kincaid46
+
+This dataset consists of 46 audio files and the corresponding transcripts compiled in the blog article [Which automatic transcription service is the most accurate - 2018](https://medium.com/descript/which-automatic-transcription-service-is-the-most-accurate-2018-2e859b23ed19) by Jason Kincaid. We used the 46 audio files and reference transcripts from the Airtable widget in the article.
+
+For the human transcription benchmark in the paper, we use a subset of 25 examples from this data, whose "Ref ID" are:
+
+    2 4 5 8 9 10 12 13 14 16 19 21 23 25 26 28 29 30 33 35 36 37 42 43 45
+
+### Earnings-21, Earnings-22
+
+For these datasets, we used the files available in [the speech-datasets repository](https://github.com/revdotcom/speech-datasets), as of their `202206` version.
+
+### CORAAL
+
+We used the 231 interviews from [CORAAL (v. 2021.07)](https://oraal.uoregon.edu/coraal) and used the full-length interview files and transcripts.
+
+
+## Multilingual datasets
+
+### Multilingual LibriSpeech
+
+We used the test splits from each language in [the Multilingual LibriSpeech (MLS) corpus](https://www.openslr.org/94/).
+
+### Fleurs
+
+We collected audio files and transcripts using the implementation available as [HuggingFace datasets](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/fleurs/blob/main/fleurs.py). To use as a translation dataset, we matched the numerical utterance IDs to find the corresponding transcript in English.   
+
+### VoxPopuli
+
+We used the `get_asr_data.py` script from [the official repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/voxpopuli) to collect the ASR data in 14 languages. 
+
+### Common Voice 9
+
+We downloaded the Common Voice Corpus 9 from [the official website](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets)
+
+### CoVOST 2
+
+We collected the `X into English` data collected using [the official repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/covost).

+# Model Card: Whisper
+
+This is the official codebase for running the automatic speech recognition (ASR) models (Whisper models) trained and released by OpenAI.
+
+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).
+
+
+## Model Details
+
+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.
+
+|  Size  | Parameters | English-only model | Multilingual model |  
+|:------:|:----------:|:------------------:|:------------------:|
+|  tiny  |    39 M    |         ✓          |         ✓          |
+|  base  |    74 M    |         ✓          |         ✓          |
+| small  |   244 M    |         ✓          |         ✓          |
+| medium |   769 M    |         ✓          |         ✓          |
+| large  |   1550 M   |                    |         ✓          |
+
+In December 2022, we [released an improved large model named `large-v2`](https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/661).
+
+
+### Release date
+
+September 2022 (original series) and December 2022 (`large-v2`)
+
+### Model type
+
+Sequence-to-sequence ASR (automatic speech recognition) and speech translation model
+
+### Paper & samples
+
+[Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356) / [Blog](https://openai.com/blog/whisper)
+
+
+## Model Use
+
+### Evaluated Use
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+
+## Training Data
+
+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. 
+
+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.
+
+
+## Performance and Limitations
+
+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. 
+
+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.
+
+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).
+
+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.
+
+
+## Broader Implications
+
+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.
+
+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.
