WhisperHallu

Experimental code: sound file preprocessing to optimize Whisper transcriptions without hallucinated texts

See this discussion: openai/whisper#679

Main algo

  • remove noise by voice extraction using Facebook Demucs or Deezer Spleeter.
  • remove silences, and normalize loudness with ffmpeg.
  • remove noise parts using Silero VAD.
  • add voice markers.
  • apply speech compressor (requires ffmpeg 4.4, while Google Colab is 4.2, it has to be upgraded, see below).
  • try to transcribe. If markers are present in output, transcription is OK.
  • if not, try to invert markers. If markers are present in output, transcription is OK.
  • if not, try without markers.

Processing options and parameters

  • use Whisper V1, V2 or V3 (V2 by default, because V3 seems bad with music).
  • beam_size (2 by default), patience, temperature.
  • process only a subpart of the input file (needs a post-processing of timestamp values).
  • various time stretching methods tested (see in-code comments. Needs a post-processing of timestamp values. It was an interesting suggested idea, but no real gain obtained on my side).
  • vocals remix (with or without speech normalization).
  • multiple final transcriptions (get multiple results, knowing Whisper is not stable from one run to an other, without doing pre-processing several times)

Complement

May be used to produce "accurate transcriptions" for WhisperTimeSync:

May be tested using NeuroSpell Dictaphone:

Code

from transcribeHallu import loadModel
from transcribeHallu import transcribePrompt

##### The audio language may be different from the one for the output transcription.
path="/path/to/your/en/sound/file"
lngInput="en"

##### Activate this for music file to get a minimal processing
isMusic=False

##### Need to be adapted for each language.
##### For prompt examples, see transcribeHallu.py getPrompt(lng:str)
lng="en"
prompt= "Whisper, Ok. "\
	+"A pertinent sentence for your purpose in your language. "\
	+"Ok, Whisper. Whisper, Ok. "\
	+"Ok, Whisper. Whisper, Ok. "\
	+"Please find here, an unlikely ordinary sentence. "\
	+"This is to avoid a repetition to be deleted. "\
	+"Ok, Whisper. "

##### Model size to use
modelSize="medium"
loadModel("0",modelSize=modelSize)

result = transcribePrompt(path=path, lng=lng, prompt=prompt, lngInput=lngInput,isMusic=isMusic)
