edited: On the latest version, the standalone .7z file comes with a One Click Transcribe.bat file. Now you can drag and drop file or files or folder onto this shortcut to do automatic one click transcriptions. So you can skip steps 3,4,5 below.
If you're on Windows, here is a standalone version:
- Go to Faster Whisper XXL Releases and download the latest Windows version.
- Extract the .7z file and navigate to the folder: Faster-Whisper-XXL.
- Place your movie file inside this folder.
- In the folder, type cmd in the address bar and press Enter.
In the command prompt, type the following command:
faster-whisper-xxl.exe "C:\yourmediafileslocation\abc-123.mp4" --language ja --model tiny --task translate --output_format srt
6. This will start the process using your CPU.
For NVIDIA GPU Acceleration:
- Download the required CUDA files from CUDA Dependencies for Faster Whisper and extract all contents into the same Faster-Whisper-XXL folder.
The files are:
- cublas64_11
- cublasLt64_11
- cudnn_cnn_infer64_8
- cudnn_ops_infer64_8
- zlibwapi
- Run the same command as above and the process will start with CUDA, If it doesn't, add --device cuda to the command:
faster-whisper-xxl.exe "C:\yourmediafileslocation\abc-123.mp4" --language ja --model tiny --task translate --output_format srt --device cuda
Additional Information:
For more details about arguments and options, type the following in the command prompt:
Faster-Whisper-XXL -h
This should get you started. For more accurate results, you might want to try the medium or large model with a capable GPU.
