Whisper-small-vaani-hindi

This is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI's Whisper-tiny, trained on approximately 718 hours of transcribed Hindi speech from multiple datasets.

Usage

This can be used with the pipeline function from the Transformers module.

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

audio = "path to the audio file to be transcribed"
device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
modelTags="ARTPARK-IISc/whisper-tiny-vaani-hindi"
transcribe = pipeline(task="automatic-speech-recognition", model=modelTags, chunk_length_s=30, device=device)
transcribe.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = transcribe.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(language="hi", task="transcribe")

print('Transcription: ', transcribe(audio)["text"])
