This article introduces NB-Whisper, an adaptation of OpenAI's Whisper,
specifically fine-tuned for Norwegian language Automatic Speech Recognition
(ASR). We highlight its key contributions and summarise the results achieved in
converting spoken Norwegian into written forms and translating other languages
into Norwegian. We show that we are able to improve the Norwegian Bokm{\aa}l
transcription by OpenAI Whisper Large-v3 from a WER of 10.4 to 6.6 on the
Fleurs Dataset and from 6.8 to 2.2 on the NST dataset.
