# whisper.wasm
|
|
|
|
Inference of [OpenAI's Whisper ASR model](https://github.com/openai/whisper) inside the browser
|
|
|
|
This example uses a WebAssembly (WASM) port of the [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp)
|
|
implementation of the transformer to run the inference inside a web page. The audio data does not leave your computer -
|
|
it is processed locally on your machine. The performance is not great but you should be able to achieve x2 or x3
|
|
real-time for the `tiny` and `base` models on a modern CPU and browser (i.e. transcribe a 60 seconds audio in about
|
|
~20-30 seconds).
|
|
|
|
This WASM port utilizes [WASM SIMD 128-bit intrinsics](https://emcc.zcopy.site/docs/porting/simd/) so you have to make
|
|
sure that [your browser supports them](https://webassembly.org/roadmap/).
|
|
|
|
The example is capable of running all models up to size `small` inclusive. Beyond that, the memory requirements and
|
|
performance are unsatisfactory. The implementation currently support only the `Greedy` sampling strategy. Both
|
|
transcription and translation are supported.
|
|
|
|
Since the model data is quite big (74MB for the `tiny` model) you need to manually load the model into the web-page.
|
|
|
|
The example supports both loading audio from a file and recording audio from the microphone. The maximum length of the
|
|
audio is limited to 120 seconds.
