Whisper small model for CTranslate2#

This repository contains the conversion of openai/whisper-small to the CTranslate2 model format.

This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as faster-whisper.

Example#

from faster_whisper import WhisperModel

model = WhisperModel("small")

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 openai/whisper-small --output_dir faster-whisper-small \
    --copy_files tokenizer.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.

More information#

For more information about the original model, see its model card.
