OPENAI WHISPER

State-of-the-art open-source speech recognition supporting 99+ languages

MIT

ABOUT

Before Whisper, high-quality automatic speech recognition (ASR) was fragmented across dozens of language-specific models and proprietary APIs with restrictive pricing and data privacy concerns. Developers needed separate solutions for transcription, translation, and language ID — each with inconsistent accuracy. Whisper solves this with a single open-source model that rivals commercial ASR quality across 99+ languages, handling transcription, translation to English, language identification, and timestamp alignment in one unified pipeline. It runs locally, respects privacy, and has become the de facto standard for open-source speech-to-text.

INSTALL
pip install openai-whisper
