Whisper ASR CLI

Whisper ASR CLI is a command-line interface for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) using OpenAI's Whisper ASR model. It allows users to record audio, save it to a file, and obtain transcriptions using the Whisper ASR model.

Motivation

Speech recognition is a fundamental component of many applications, including voice assistants, transcription services, and more. The goal of this project is to provide a simple and user-friendly interface for leveraging the power of OpenAI's Whisper ASR model.

Features

  • Record audio from the command line.
  • Save recorded audio to a specified file.
  • Obtain transcriptions using the Whisper ASR model.

How it Works

  1. Record Audio:

    • Press 'R' to start recording.
    • Press 'S' to stop recording.
    • Press 'Q' to quit the recording process.

  2. Save Audio:

    • The recorded audio is saved to a specified file using the soundfile library.

  3. Transcribe Audio:

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.6 or higher
  • Dependencies: See requirements.txt
