The entire high-level implementation of the model is contained in [whisper.h](include/whisper.h) and [whisper.cpp](src/whisper.cpp).
The rest of the code is part of the [`ggml`](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml) machine learning library.
Having such a lightweight implementation of the model allows to easily integrate it in different platforms and applications.
As an example, here is a video of running the model on an iPhone 13 device - fully offline, on-device: [whisper.objc](examples/whisper.objc)
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/197385372-962a6dea-bca1-4d50-bf96-1d8c27b98c81.mp4
You can also easily make your own offline voice assistant application: [command](examples/command)
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/204038393-2f846eae-c255-4099-a76d-5735c25c49da.mp4
On Apple Silicon, the inference runs fully on the GPU via Metal:
https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/assets/1991296/c82e8f86-60dc-49f2-b048-d2fdbd6b5225
## Quick start
First clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
```
Navigate into the directory:
```
cd whisper.cpp
```
Then, download one of the Whisper [models](models/README.md) converted in [`ggml` format](#ggml-format). For example:
```bash
sh ./models/download-ggml-model.sh base.en
```
Now build the [whisper-cli](examples/cli) example and transcribe an audio file like this:
```bash
# build the project
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
# transcribe an audio file
./build/bin/whisper-cli -f samples/jfk.wav
```
---
For a quick demo, simply run `make base.en`.
The command downloads the `base.en` model converted to custom `ggml` format and runs the inference on all `.wav` samples in the folder `samples`.
For detailed usage instructions, run: `./build/bin/whisper-cli -h`
Note that the [whisper-cli](examples/cli) example currently runs only with 16-bit WAV files, so make sure to convert your input before running the tool.
For example, you can use `ffmpeg` like this:
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le output.wav
```
## More audio samples
If you want some extra audio samples to play with, simply run:
```
make -j samples
```
This will download a few more audio files from Wikipedia and convert them to 16-bit WAV format via `ffmpeg`.
You can download and run the other models as follows:
```
make -j tiny.en
make -j tiny
make -j base.en
make -j base
make -j small.en
make -j small
make -j medium.en
make -j medium
make -j large-v1
make -j large-v2
make -j large-v3
make -j large-v3-turbo
```
## Memory usage
| Model | Disk | Mem |
| ------ | ------- | ------- |
| tiny | 75 MiB | ~273 MB |
| base | 142 MiB | ~388 MB |
| small | 466 MiB | ~852 MB |
| medium | 1.5 GiB | ~2.1 GB |
| large | 2.9 GiB | ~3.9 GB |
## Quantization
`whisper.cpp` supports integer quantization of the Whisper `ggml` models.
Quantized models require less memory and disk space and depending on the hardware can be processed more efficiently.
Here are the steps for creating and using a quantized model:
```bash
# quantize a model with Q5_0 method
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
./build/bin/quantize models/ggml-base.en.bin models/ggml-base.en-q5_0.bin q5_0
# run the examples as usual, specifying the quantized model file
./build/bin/whisper-cli -m models/ggml-base.en-q5_0.bin ./samples/gb0.wav
```
## Core ML support
On Apple Silicon devices, the Encoder inference can be executed on the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) via Core ML. This can result in significant
speed-up - more than x3 faster compared with CPU-only execution. Here are the instructions for generating a Core ML model and using it with `whisper.cpp`:
- Install Python dependencies needed for the creation of the Core ML model:
```bash
pip install ane_transformers
pip install openai-whisper
pip install coremltools
```
- To ensure `coremltools` operates correctly, please confirm that [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) is installed and execute `xcode-select --install` to install the command-line tools.
- Python 3.10 is recommended.
- MacOS Sonoma (version 14) or newer is recommended, as older versions of MacOS might experience issues with transcription hallucination.
- [OPTIONAL] It is recommended to utilize a Python version management system, such as [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) for this step:
- To create an environment, use: `conda create -n py310-whisper python=3.10 -y`
- To activate the environment, use: `conda activate py310-whisper`
- Generate a Core ML model. For example, to generate a `base.en` model, use:
```bash
./models/generate-coreml-model.sh base.en
```
This will generate the folder `models/ggml-base.en-encoder.mlmodelc`
- Build `whisper.cpp` with Core ML support:
```bash
# using CMake
cmake -B build -DWHISPER_COREML=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
- Run the examples as usual. For example:
```text
$ ./build/bin/whisper-cli -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f samples/jfk.wav
...
whisper_init_state: loading Core ML model from 'models/ggml-base.en-encoder.mlmodelc'
whisper_init_state: first run on a device may take a while ...
whisper_init_state: Core ML model loaded
system_info: n_threads = 4 / 10 | AVX = 0 | AVX2 = 0 | AVX512 = 0 | FMA = 0 | NEON = 1 | ARM_FMA = 1 | F16C = 0 | FP16_VA = 1 | WASM_SIMD = 0 | BLAS = 1 | SSE3 = 0 | VSX = 0 | COREML = 1 |
...
```
The first run on a device is slow, since the ANE service compiles the Core ML model to some device-specific format.
Next runs are faster.
For more information about the Core ML implementation please refer to PR [#566](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/pull/566).
## OpenVINO support
On platforms that support [OpenVINO](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino), the Encoder inference can be executed
on OpenVINO-supported devices including x86 CPUs and Intel GPUs (integrated & discrete).
This can result in significant speedup in encoder performance. Here are the instructions for generating the OpenVINO model and using it with `whisper.cpp`:
- First, setup python virtual env. and install python dependencies. Python 3.10 is recommended.
Windows:
```powershell
cd models
python -m venv openvino_conv_env
openvino_conv_env\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements-openvino.txt
```
Linux and macOS:
```bash
cd models
python3 -m venv openvino_conv_env
source openvino_conv_env/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements-openvino.txt
```
- Generate an OpenVINO encoder model. For example, to generate a `base.en` model, use:
```
python convert-whisper-to-openvino.py --model base.en
```
This will produce ggml-base.en-encoder-openvino.xml/.bin IR model files. It's recommended to relocate these to the same folder as `ggml` models, as that
is the default location that the OpenVINO extension will search at runtime.
- Build `whisper.cpp` with OpenVINO support:
Download OpenVINO package from [release page](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/releases). The recommended version to use is [2023.0.0](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/releases/tag/2023.0.0).
After downloading & extracting package onto your development system, set up required environment by sourcing setupvars script. For example:
Linux:
```bash
source /path/to/l_openvino_toolkit_ubuntu22_2023.0.0.10926.b4452d56304_x86_64/setupvars.sh
```
Windows (cmd):
```powershell
C:\Path\To\w_openvino_toolkit_windows_2023.0.0.10926.b4452d56304_x86_64\setupvars.bat
```
And then build the project using cmake:
```bash
cmake -B build -DWHISPER_OPENVINO=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
- Run the examples as usual. For example:
```text
$ ./build/bin/whisper-cli -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f samples/jfk.wav
...
whisper_ctx_init_openvino_encoder: loading OpenVINO model from 'models/ggml-base.en-encoder-openvino.xml'
whisper_ctx_init_openvino_encoder: first run on a device may take a while ...
whisper_openvino_init: path_model = models/ggml-base.en-encoder-openvino.xml, device = GPU, cache_dir = models/ggml-base.en-encoder-openvino-cache
whisper_ctx_init_openvino_encoder: OpenVINO model loaded
system_info: n_threads = 4 / 8 | AVX = 1 | AVX2 = 1 | AVX512 = 0 | FMA = 1 | NEON = 0 | ARM_FMA = 0 | F16C = 1 | FP16_VA = 0 | WASM_SIMD = 0 | BLAS = 0 | SSE3 = 1 | VSX = 0 | COREML = 0 | OPENVINO = 1 |
...
```
The first time run on an OpenVINO device is slow, since the OpenVINO framework will compile the IR (Intermediate Representation) model to a device-specific 'blob'. This device-specific blob will get
cached for the next run.
For more information about the OpenVINO implementation please refer to PR [#1037](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/pull/1037).
## NVIDIA GPU support
With NVIDIA cards the processing of the models is done efficiently on the GPU via cuBLAS and custom CUDA kernels.
First, make sure you have installed `cuda`: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
Now build `whisper.cpp` with CUDA support:
```
cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
## Vulkan GPU support
Cross-vendor solution which allows you to accelerate workload on your GPU.
First, make sure your graphics card driver provides support for Vulkan API.
Now build `whisper.cpp` with Vulkan support:
```
cmake -B build -DGGML_VULKAN=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
## BLAS CPU support via OpenBLAS
Encoder processing can be accelerated on the CPU via OpenBLAS.
First, make sure you have installed `openblas`: https://www.openblas.net/
Now build `whisper.cpp` with OpenBLAS support:
```
cmake -B build -DGGML_BLAS=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
## Ascend NPU support
Ascend NPU provides inference acceleration via [`CANN`](https://www.hiascend.com/en/software/cann) and AI cores.
First, check if your Ascend NPU device is supported:
**Verified devices**
| Ascend NPU | Status |
|:-----------------------------:|:-------:|
| Atlas 300T A2 | Support |
Then, make sure you have installed [`CANN toolkit`](https://www.hiascend.com/en/software/cann/community) . The lasted version of CANN is recommanded.
Now build `whisper.cpp` with CANN support:
```
cmake -B build -DGGML_CANN=1
cmake --build build -j --config Release
```
Run the inference examples as usual, for example:
```
./build/bin/whisper-cli -f samples/jfk.wav -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -t 8
```
*Notes:*
- If you have trouble with Ascend NPU device, please create a issue with **[CANN]** prefix/tag.
- If you run successfully with your Ascend NPU device, please help update the table `Verified devices`.
## Docker
### Prerequisites
- Docker must be installed and running on your system.
- Create a folder to store big models & intermediate files (ex. /whisper/models)
### Images
We have two Docker images available for this project:
1. `ghcr.io/ggerganov/whisper.cpp:main`: This image includes the main executable file as well as `curl` and `ffmpeg`. (platforms: `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`)
2. `ghcr.io/ggerganov/whisper.cpp:main-cuda`: Same as `main` but compiled with CUDA support. (platforms: `linux/amd64`)
### Usage
```shell
# download model and persist it in a local folder
docker run -it --rm \
-v path/to/models:/models \
whisper.cpp:main "./models/download-ggml-model.sh base /models"
# transcribe an audio file
docker run -it --rm \
-v path/to/models:/models \
-v path/to/audios:/audios \
whisper.cpp:main "./main -m /models/ggml-base.bin -f /audios/jfk.wav"
# transcribe an audio file in samples folder
docker run -it --rm \
-v path/to/models:/models \
whisper.cpp:main "./main -m /models/ggml-base.bin -f ./samples/jfk.wav"
```
## Installing with Conan
You can install pre-built binaries for whisper.cpp or build it from source using [Conan](https://conan.io/). Use the following command:
```
conan install --requires="whisper-cpp/[*]" --build=missing
```
For detailed instructions on how to use Conan, please refer to the [Conan documentation](https://docs.conan.io/2/).
## Limitations
- Inference only
## Real-time audio input example
This is a naive example of performing real-time inference on audio from your microphone.
The [stream](examples/stream) tool samples the audio every half a second and runs the transcription continuously.
More info is available in [issue #10](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/issues/10).
```bash
cmake -B build -DWHISPER_SDL2=ON
cmake --build build --config Release
./build/bin/whisper-stream -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -t 8 --step 500 --length 5000
```

## Confidence color-coding
Adding the `--print-colors` argument will print the transcribed text using an experimental color coding strategy
to highlight words with high or low confidence:
```bash
./build/bin/whisper-cli -m models/ggml-base.en.bin -f samples/gb0.wav --print-colors
```
<img width="965" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/197356445-311c8643-9397-4e5e-b46e-0b4b4daa2530.png">
## Controlling the length of the generated text segments (experimental)
For example, to limit the line length to a maximum of 16 characters, simply add `-ml 16`:
```text
$ ./build/bin/whisper-cli -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -f ./samples/jfk.wav -ml 16
whisper_model_load: loading model from './models/ggml-base.en.bin'
...
system_info: n_threads = 4 / 10 | AVX2 = 0 | AVX512 = 0 | NEON = 1 | FP16_VA = 1 | WASM_SIMD = 0 | BLAS = 1 |
main: processing './samples/jfk.wav' (176000 samples, 11.0 sec), 4 threads, 1 processors, lang = en, task = transcribe, timestamps = 1 ...
[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.850] And so my
[00:00:00.850 --> 00:00:01.590] fellow
[00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:04.140] Americans, ask
[00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:05.660] not what your
[00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:06.840] country can do
[00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:08.430] for you, ask
[00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:09.440] what you can do
[00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:10.020] for your
[00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:11.000] country.
```
## Word-level timestamp (experimental)
The `--max-len` argument can be used to obtain word-level timestamps. Simply use `-ml 1`:
```text
$ ./build/bin/whisper-cli -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -f ./samples/jfk.wav -ml 1
whisper_model_load: loading model from './models/ggml-base.en.bin'
...
system_info: n_threads = 4 / 10 | AVX2 = 0 | AVX512 = 0 | NEON = 1 | FP16_VA = 1 | WASM_SIMD = 0 | BLAS = 1 |
main: processing './samples/jfk.wav' (176000 samples, 11.0 sec), 4 threads, 1 processors, lang = en, task = transcribe, timestamps = 1 ...
[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.320]
[00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:00.370] And
[00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:00.690] so
[00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:00.850] my
[00:00:00.850 --> 00:00:01.590] fellow
[00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:02.850] Americans

[00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:04.140] ask
[00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:04.990] not
[00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:05.410] what
[00:00:05.410 --> 00:00:05.660] your
[00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:06.260] country
[00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:06.600] can
[00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:06.840] do
[00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:07.010] for
[00:00:07.010 --> 00:00:08.170] you
[00:00:08.170 --> 00:00:08.190] ,
[00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:08.430] ask

[00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:09.320] can
[00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:09.440] do
[00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:09.760] for
[00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:10.020] your
[00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:10.510] country
[00:00:10.510 --> 00:00:11.000] .

## Speaker segmentation via tinydiarize (experimental)
More information about this approach is available here: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/pull/1058
Sample usage:
```py
# download a tinydiarize compatible model
./models/download-ggml-model.sh small.en-tdrz
# run as usual, adding the "-tdrz" command-line argument
./build/bin/whisper-cli -f ./samples/a13.wav -m ./models/ggml-small.en-tdrz.bin -tdrz
...

[00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:25.740] Okay uh right now uh Houston the uh voltage is uh is looking good um.
[00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:29.940] And we had a a pretty large bank or so.
```
## Karaoke-style movie generation (experimental)
The [whisper-cli](examples/cli) example provides support for output of karaoke-style movies, where the
currently pronounced word is highlighted. Use the `-wts` argument and run the generated bash script.
This requires to have `ffmpeg` installed.
Here are a few _"typical"_ examples:
```bash
./build/bin/whisper-cli -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -f ./samples/jfk.wav -owts
source ./samples/jfk.wav.wts
ffplay ./samples/jfk.wav.mp4
```
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/199337465-dbee4b5e-9aeb-48a3-b1c6-323ac4db5b2c.mp4
---
```bash
./build/bin/whisper-cli -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -f ./samples/mm0.wav -owts
source ./samples/mm0.wav.wts
ffplay ./samples/mm0.wav.mp4
```
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/199337504-cc8fd233-0cb7-4920-95f9-4227de3570aa.mp4
---
```bash
./build/bin/whisper-cli -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -f ./samples/gb0.wav -owts
source ./samples/gb0.wav.wts
ffplay ./samples/gb0.wav.mp4
```
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/199337538-b7b0c7a3-2753-4a88-a0cd-f28a317987ba.mp4
---
## Video comparison of different models
Use the [scripts/bench-wts.sh](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/blob/master/scripts/bench-wts.sh) script to generate a video in the following format:
```bash
./scripts/bench-wts.sh samples/jfk.wav
ffplay ./samples/jfk.wav.all.mp4
```
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/223206245-2d36d903-cf8e-4f09-8c3b-eb9f9c39d6fc.mp4
---
## Benchmarks
In order to have an objective comparison of the performance of the inference across different system configurations,
use the [whisper-bench](examples/bench) tool. The tool simply runs the Encoder part of the model and prints how much time it
took to execute it. The results are summarized in the following Github issue:
[Benchmark results](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/issues/89)
Additionally a script to run whisper.cpp with different models and audio files is provided [bench.py](scripts/bench.py).
You can run it with the following command, by default it will run against any standard model in the models folder.
```bash
python3 scripts/bench.py -f samples/jfk.wav -t 2,4,8 -p 1,2
```
It is written in python with the intention of being easy to modify and extend for your benchmarking use case.
It outputs a csv file with the results of the benchmarking.
## `ggml` format
The original models are converted to a custom binary format. This allows to pack everything needed into a single file:
- model parameters
- mel filters
- vocabulary
- weights
You can download the converted models using the [models/download-ggml-model.sh](models/download-ggml-model.sh) script
or manually from here:
