Node.js bindings for OpenAI's Whisper model.
- Automatically convert the audio to WAV format with a 16000 Hz frequency to support the whisper model.
- Output transcripts to (.txt .srt .vtt)
- Optimized for CPU (Including Apple Silicon ARM)
- Timestamp precision to single word
- Split on word rather than on token (Optional)
- Translate from source language to english (Optional)
- Convert audio formet to wav to support whisper model
- Install make tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
- Install nodejs-whisper with npm
npm i nodejs-whisper
- Download whisper model
npx nodejs-whisper download
- NOTE: user may need to install make tool
