## Usage
To build the main program, run `make`. You can then transcribe a `.wav` file like this:
```bash
$ ./main -f input.wav
```
Before running the program, make sure to download one of the ggml Whisper models. For example:
```bash
bash ./download-ggml-model.sh base.en
```
---
For a quick demo, simply run `make base.en`:
```java
$ 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: `./main -h`
Note that `whisper.cpp` 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:
```java
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 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 tiny.en
make tiny
make base.en
make base
make small.en
make small
make medium.en
make medium
make large
```
## Another example
Here is another example of transcribing a [3:24 min speech](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/George_W_Bush_Columbia_FINAL.ogg)
in less than a minute on a MacBook M1 Pro, using `medium.en` model:
```java
$ ./main -m models/ggml-medium.en.bin -f samples/gb1.wav -t 8

[00:00.000 --> 00:08.000] My fellow Americans, this day has brought terrible news and great sadness to our country.
[00:08.000 --> 00:17.000] At 9 o'clock this morning, Mission Control in Houston lost contact with our Space Shuttle Columbia.
[00:17.000 --> 00:24.000] A short time later, debris was seen falling from the skies above Texas.
[00:24.000 --> 00:29.000] The Columbia's lost. There are no survivors.
[00:29.000 --> 00:32.000] On board was a crew of seven.
[00:32.000 --> 00:43.000] Colonel Rick Husband, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Anderson, Commander Laurel Clark, Captain David Brown, Commander William McCool,
[00:43.000 --> 00:52.000] Dr. Kultner Aschavla, and Elon Ramon, a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force.
[00:52.000 --> 00:58.000] These men and women assumed great risk in the service to all humanity.
[00:58.000 --> 01:06.000] In an age when space flight has come to seem almost routine, it is easy to overlook the dangers of travel by rocket
[01:06.000 --> 01:12.000] and the difficulties of navigating the fierce outer atmosphere of the Earth.
[01:12.000 --> 01:22.000] These astronauts knew the dangers, and they faced them willingly, knowing they had a high and noble purpose in life.
[01:22.000 --> 01:30.000] Because of their courage, endearing, and idealism, we will miss them all the more.
[01:30.000 --> 01:40.000] All Americans today are thinking as well of the families of these men and women who have been given this sudden shock and grief.
[01:40.000 --> 01:45.000] You're not alone. Our entire nation agrees with you.
[01:45.000 --> 01:52.000] And those you love will always have the respect and gratitude of this country.
[01:52.000 --> 01:56.000] The cause in which they died will continue.
[01:56.000 --> 02:07.000] Mankind is led into the darkness beyond our world by the inspiration of discovery and the longing to understand.
[02:07.000 --> 02:11.000] Our journey into space will go on.
[02:11.000 --> 02:16.000] In the skies today, we saw destruction and tragedy.
[02:16.000 --> 02:22.000] Yet farther than we can see, there is comfort and hope.
[02:22.000 --> 02:31.000] In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "Lift your eyes and look to the heavens who created all these.
[02:31.000 --> 02:39.000] He who brings out the starry hosts one by one and calls them each by name."
[02:39.000 --> 02:46.000] Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
[02:46.000 --> 02:55.000] The same creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today.
[02:55.000 --> 03:05.000] The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth, yet we can pray that all are safely home.
[03:05.000 --> 03:14.000] May God bless the grieving families and may God continue to bless America.
[03:14.000 --> 03:24.000] [Music]

## Real-time audio input example
This is a naive example of performing real-time inference on audio from your microphone.
The `stream` tool samples the audio every 3 seconds and runs the transcription continously. More info is available in [issue #10](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/issues/10).
```java
$ ./stream -m ./models/ggml-base.en.bin -t 8 --step 500 --length 5000
```

## Implementation details
- The core tensor operations are implemented in C ([ggml.h](ggml.h) / [ggml.c](ggml.c))
- The high-level C-style API is implemented in C++ ([whisper.h](whisper.h) / [whisper.cpp](whisper.cpp))
- Simple usage is demonstrated in [main.cpp](main.cpp)
- Sample real-time audio transcription from the microphone is demonstrated in [stream.cpp](stream.cpp)
## Limitations
- Very basic greedy sampling scheme - always pick up the top token. You can implement your own strategy
- Inference only
- No GPU support
## Memory usage
| Model | Disk | Mem |
| --- | --- | --- |
| tiny | 75 MB | ~240 MB |
| base | 142 MB | ~380 MB |
| small | 466 MB | ~970 MB |
| medium | 1.5 GB | ~2.5 GB |
| large | 2.9 GB | ~4.6 GB |
## 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 [download-ggml-model.sh](download-ggml-model.sh) script or from here:
https://ggml.ggerganov.com
For more details, see the conversion script [convert-pt-to-ggml.py](convert-pt-to-ggml.py) or the README in [models](models).
