It uses [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) under the hood, making it significantly faster on M1 systems.\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can download the binary corresponding to your OS from the [latest release](https://github.com/m1guelpf/whisper-cli-rs/releases/latest), or build it from scratch with `cargo install whisper_cli`.\n\n## Run from anywhere\n\nPut the `whisper` binary in `/usr/local/bin` on Unix systems (Mac/Linux) \u0026 make sure it has permissions to execute (use `chmod +x whisper` in terminal.)\n\nClose \u0026 Re-open the terminal to test it by typing `whisper --help`. It should output the following.\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\n$ whisper --help\nGenerate a transcript of an audio file using the Whisper speech-to-text engine. The transcript will be saved as a .txt, .vtt, and .srt file in the same directory as the audio file.\n\nUsage: whisper [OPTIONS] \u003cAUDIO\u003e\n\nArguments:\n  \u003cAUDIO\u003e Path to the audio file to transcribe\n\nOptions:\n  -m, --model \u003cMODEL\u003e\n          Name of the Whisper model to use\n\n          [default: medium]\n          [possible values: tiny.en, tiny, base.en, base, small.en, small, medium.en, medium, large, large-v1]\n\n  -l, --lang \u003cLANG\u003e\n          Language spoken in the audio. Attempts to auto-detect by default\n\n          [possible values: auto, en, zh, de, es, ru, ko, fr, ja, pt, tr, pl, ca, nl, ar, sv, it, id, hi, fi, vi, he, uk, el, ms, cs, ro, da, hu, ta, no, th, ur, hr, bg, lt, la, mi, ml, cy, sk, te, fa, lv, bn, sr, az, sl, kn, et, mk, br, eu, is, hy, ne, mn, bs, kk, sq, sw, gl, mr, pa, si, km, sn, yo, so, af, oc, ka, be, tg, sd, gu, am, yi, lo, uz, fo, ht, ps, tk, nn, mt, sa, lb, my, bo, tl, mg, as, tt, haw, ln, ha, ba, jw, su]\n\n  -t, --translate\n          Toggle translation\n\n  -k, --karaoke\n          Generate timestamps for each word\n\n  -h, --help\n          Print help information (use `-h` for a summary)\n\n  -V, --version\n          Print version information\n```\n\n## Develop\n\nMake sure you have the latest version of rust installed (use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)). Then, you can build the project by running `cargo build`, and run it with `cargo run`.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fm1guelpf%2Fwhisper-cli-rs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fm1guelpf%2Fwhisper-cli-rs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fm1guelpf%2Fwhisper-cli-rs/lists"}
