AI Audio Transcriber

Welcome to the Whisper Audio Transcription repository! This project utilizes OpenAI's powerful Whisper model to transcribe audio files into text. It's designed to be user-friendly, allowing both developers and non-technical users to easily transcribe audio files with minimal setup.

Features

• Audio Transcription: Transcribe your audio files to text using the state-of-the-art Whisper model.
• Customizable Output: Choose where to save your transcription results.
• Easy to Use: Run as a standalone script or integrate into your projects.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Python 3.6 or later

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/lamb-russell/audio-transcriber.git
cd audio-transcriber

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all necessary dependencies, including the Whisper package.

Usage

As a Script

To use the script from the command line, navigate to the repository's directory and run:

python main.py path_to_audio_file [path_to_output_text_file]

• path_to_audio_file is the path to the audio file you want to transcribe.
• path_to_output_text_file is an optional argument specifying where to save the transcription. If not provided, the transcription will be saved in the same directory as the audio file, with the same name but a .txt extension.

As a Module

You can also import and use the process_audio_with_whisper function in your own Python projects:

from main import process_audio_with_whisper

process_audio_with_whisper(audio_file_path, output_file_path=None)
