# NOTE: THIS IS A CT-2 (Faster-Whisper) version of the model
the original model can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/ivrit-ai/whisper-large-v2-tuned)

# Whisper

Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation.
More details about it are available [here](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v2).

**whisper-large-v2-tuned** is a version of whisper-large-v2, fine-tuned by [ivrit.ai](https://www.ivrit.ai) to improve Hebrew ASR using crowd-sourced labeling.

## Model details

This model comes as a single checkpoint, whisper-large-v2-tuned.
It is a 1550M parameters multi-lingual ASR solution.

# Usage

```python
from faster_whisper import WhisperModel

model = WhisperModel("sivan22/faster-whisper-ivrit-ai-whisper-large-v2-tuned")

segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
for segment in segments:
    print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text))
```

## Evaluation

You can use the [evaluate_model.py](https://github.com/yairl/ivrit.ai/blob/master/evaluate_model.py) reference on GitHub to evalute the model's quality.
