Many Questions from a NEWB!!!!

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Is the -m large-v2 the very best version - was there not a XXL version that was better? Or how does that work out.

Can i use the Linux version in Termux, and if so, how to put it in there and find it make it do what I want. slight different commands maybe?

I have this now in a bat file on Windows 7: start faster-whisper-xll.exe input -l English -m large-v2 -o output
Should work, I think.... Although it is still doing its thing, being a very slow hacked slim client so still waiting for things to be seen produced by it, but it does find 15 files as it should but it will clearly take some hours :P.

Can I translate things as well? and does it support French, and can I then translate that into English?

Some of these files are very bad quality, like radio and all, is there something better then the large-v2 like that XXL thing, and how to get it working?

I also tried this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtcSqvx2Yfo - although still need to see a txt output file or something from it, but got the send to sorted and seems to work. I know this slim device is not the way to go in regards of speed, but I hope my mobile can do it, that should be a lot more powerful - however I get it working on it. I have Mobox and hope I can get something working on it, or maybe the direct Linux version might be even better.

But I need some help :)

So if I want a file frem French or Spanish and the very best transcriber option and then translating it - what code would I need for a command?

Thanks, it is very interesting to see - yet so confused at it goes for the moment.

Oh by the way, doing it on mobile, is it easy to make it use the GPU? And I guess by testing I can see what is best.
And this XXL transcript thing, how do I activate it, if there is anything like that, as large-v2.

And i am sure others have asked some of the questions if not all - just help me and my brain also writing out things. And it gets a little more personnel. In any case, I need some help. It is moving forward but slowly, and then finding new options that might be useful.

I have these French and Spanish things, that I really would like to have translated, and that might be possible, and even make them into lyrics "easily". That would be very cool.

Just a newbie.... I don't know..... There must be something... anyway, I have it unpacked for now and fixed an input and output folder in Gnulix.

[Purfview]

In Linux you need to add dot and slash, for example: ./whisper-faster-xxl test2.wav -l en -m large-v2 -v true

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Great, I will try it out.... apparently I missed a slash I think, BRB :) Tanks.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

It is a alive!!!! :D Thanks!!!!

[Purfview]

Is the -m large-v2 the very best version - was there not a XXL version that was better?

Imo large-v2 is best currently, non-xxl is deprecated, it won't be updated anymore, it was same thing with less features and didn't include all libs needed to run it.

I have this now in a bat file on Windows 7...

Windows 7 is not supported anymore since r193.1 version, don't waste your time running it there... you'll get error on the first fallback.

Although it is still doing its thing, being a very slow...

On a CPU it's slow, try medium or turbo models, accuracy difference is not very big vs large, btw, turbo is not suitable for translation.

Can I translate things as well? and does it support French, and can I then translate that into English?

--language French --task translate will translate French to English

Oh by the way, doing it on mobile, is it easy to make it use the GPU?

There is no "mobile" version and mobiles doesn't have CUDA GPU.

Some of these files are very bad quality, like radio and all, is there something better then the large-v2 like that XXL thing, and how to get it working?

"XXL" refers to a bloated package and just to have a different name from previous packaging.
If your audio contains music ect then you can try --ff_mdx_kim2 option, but it's slow on CPU too.

[Purfview]

Do you know if I can run this package or install this package in Termux on my Android mobile.

Read the answer.

Do you know if I can run this package or install this package in Termux on my Android mobile.

Read the answer.

Yea but it still has CPU's to run from.... So I just wonder if I can run it from it still. Maybe..... If I can get the application into Termux it should work I would think.... Maybe... I don't know....
I have a Windows version I can try, but still moving files at the moment.
Now moving some files in Linux as I filled the main drive up apparently.

[Purfview]

But still There is no "mobile" version, so I don't know what you will run there, mobile CPUs are not "x86" CPUs.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

But still There is no "mobile" version, so I don't know what you will run there, mobile CPUs are not "x86" CPUs.

I understand there is no mobile version - but the Linux version I would think should be able to run in Termux? If so, that might be the best option I have of computing power. I will try the windows version as well into Mobox, just waiting for it to finish moving files, going to take some time, clearly..... And waiting, waiting.

[Purfview]

I dunno what those apps do and doubt that you'll get anything useful from them as faster-whisper is not a simple app.

./fwx input -l en -m large-v2 -o output -v true --task translate

Not sure what the -v is about. In any case.... moving forward.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

@Purfview what does -v true mean and stand for?

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

what does -v true do in whisper
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
In Whisper, the -v true or --verbose true flag is typically used to enable verbose mode, which provides additional details about the transcription process in the terminal. Here's what it does:

Purpose of -v true
Verbose Output: When -v true (or --verbose true) is used, the program outputs detailed logs during the transcription process. This can include information such as:
The progress of the model as it processes the audio file.
Details about which parts of the audio are being transcribed.
Any errors or warnings encountered during the process.
When to Use It
Debugging: Use this flag if you want to troubleshoot issues with the transcription, such as identifying where the program might be slowing down or failing.
Monitoring Progress: For long audio files, verbose mode can help you monitor the progress in real-time.
Usage Example
bash
Copy code
whisper audio.mp3 --model large --verbose true
or equivalently:

bash
Copy code
whisper audio.mp3 -v true
This will run the Whisper transcription with additional logging output in the terminal.

Default Behavior
If you don't specify -v or --verbose, the program might run in a less chatty mode, showing only minimal logs or errors. If you're unsure whether verbose mode is needed, you can omit it for a cleaner terminal experience.

Yes.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Things are happening.... I think.

[Purfview]

That looks slow (from model loading time), what is your CPU, you don't run it in virtual machine?

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

That looks slow (from model loading time), what is your CPU, you don't run it in virtual machine?

It is my Crapbar......... It is slow. That is why I wanna do it on my mobile! Both my Slim client and Crapbar is..... well very shitty.

So I think the Mobile will do a lot better if I can get it to do it and get all the commands sorted out and such.

[Purfview]

So I think the Mobile will do a lot better

I wouldn't waste time on that, faster-whisper is not CD-MAN where you need to emulate few cpu cycles.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

./fwx input -l fr -m large-v2 -o output -v true --task translate

Lets see if this works, going to sleep, so I will let it run over the night. Hopefully it will work.

There was something about subtitles, dunno.... I guess there is also programs for that. But overall, I have those French.... oh no, just lost power, slim client instantly died, oh, well, nice to have a laptop with battery.
Well..... oh well. The Laptop should be faster anyway.

[Purfview]

For subtitle formatting you can try --sentence or --standard, anyway in your case you want to get json output too, as then you can input that json file and get new srt formatting without slow transcription process.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Pretty cool.

[Purfview]

In the title you can see progress bar and speed, 5:47:32 is your ETA.

Warning: Word-level timestamps on translations may not be reliable.
@Purfview any way to fix this? To make it more reliable.

Don't do translation with whisper. Do it by some other AI or whatever.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

can you finish the list of concentrated commands like this for whisper:
--model -m large-v2
--language -l English
--output -o C:/folder

Yea kinda looked into those help things and was so confused. Never been good at those.

[Purfview]

Python's argparse output is confusing at first look.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Python's argparse output is confusing at first look.

At least those help things, have never been me to understand much off. The setup seems confusing. So I tried to make my own little list and tried to get ChatGPT to further make more of it.
In any case it seems I am going somewhere now, but still a lot to learn.

Sadly just some very slow computers I have at hand for things. I still wanna see if I can get it to work on Termux and see the result. There is something about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/13s41z9/does_openai_whisper_works_on_termux/

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Well I tried 2 different windows emulators on Android, and it clearly did not work..... Mobox and Winlator. Well had to give it a go and try. I have seen some talk about getting it to work on Termux, something I might further look into. For now, I have put both rubbish devices on task, and see what have happened after sleep. Although on speed, the Windows 7 Slim Client seems to be pretty way behind..... So, the Crapbar seems to do a lot better, even if it sucks as well. But we are getting something for sure. But I still think the Mobile could to the best - but maybe not. Whatever the case, I guess one could put the computer into action before sleep and take it little by little.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

I had to restart it as far as I recall while the slim client kept running - and it is already 9% compared to the Slim client with only 1% done. So...... Clearly.....
Anyway interesting to find these tools.

[JesusGod-Pope666-Info]

Well things are working it seems, I am using the tiny.en that seems to do just fine and a lot faster on my slow computers :)
Does not seem I need to use the best of the best, it does pretty well on tiny.en for English at least.

[33:54.710 --> 33:59.730] That people love to ravish upon their spiritual leaders?
[34:01.470 --> 34:03.070] You've got a question.
[34:04.610 --> 34:06.630] Who your pastor is serving?

[34:23.030 --> 34:25.350] But he's not telling you a critical piece of history.
[34:26.610 --> 34:27.970] That makes all the difference.
[34:29.530 --> 34:34.010] Does your pastor preach that the antichrist is one of the ancient Roman Caesars?

[35:20.630 --> 35:29.210] It appears to be Christian, but there's vital information missing.

[35:51.450 --> 35:53.410] We just read it here on Inquisition Update.
[35:53.590 --> 36:02.130] Martin Luther said, the papacy is simply the mask for Satan himself.

That happens when model is not sure about transcription, so it retries with increased temperature (aka "fantasy") to avoid being stuck in bad hallucination loops. You will encounter this on small models more often than on bigger ones. you can disable such fallback feature with -fallback None

What would be the best settings for subtitles? Like when doing transcribing it sometimes make just 1 word and sometimes long sentences. Is there some default good setting for subtitles so the text becomes more like standard lines one after another?

[Purfview]

"Best" is what is best for you.
Read about --sentence, --standard, --max_line_width & ect...
