# Go bindings for Whisper
|
|
|
|
This package provides Go bindings for whisper.cpp. They have been tested on:
|
|
|
|
* Darwin (OS X) 12.6 on x64_64
|
|
* Debian Linux on arm64
|
|
* Fedora Linux on x86_64
|
|
|
|
The "low level" bindings are in the `bindings/go` directory and there is a more
|
|
Go-style package in the `bindings/go/pkg/whisper` directory. The most simple usage
|
|
is as follows:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go/pkg/whisper"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
var modelpath string // Path to the model
|
|
var samples []float32 // Samples to process
|
|
|
|
// Load the model
|
|
model, err := whisper.New(modelpath)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer model.Close()
|
|
|
|
// Process samples
|
|
context, err := model.NewContext()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
if err := context.Process(samples, nil, nil); err != nil {
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print out the results
|
|
for {
|
|
segment, err := context.NextSegment()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
fmt.Printf("[%6s->%6s] %s\n", segment.Start, segment.End, segment.Text)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building & Testing
|
|
|
|
In order to build, you need to have the Go compiler installed. You can get it from [here](https://golang.org/dl/). Run the tests with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
|
|
cd whisper.cpp/bindings/go
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will compile a static `libwhisper.a` in a `build` folder, download a model file, then run the tests. To build the examples:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make examples
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The examples are placed in the `build` directory. Once built, you can download all the models with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build/go-model-download -out models
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you can then test a model against samples with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build/go-whisper -model models/ggml-tiny.en.bin samples/jfk.wav
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using the bindings
|
|
|
|
To use the bindings in your own software,
|
|
|
|
1. Import `github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go/pkg/whisper` (or `github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go` into your package;
|
|
2. Compile `libwhisper.a` (you can use `make whisper` in the `bindings/go` directory);
|
|
3. Link your go binary against whisper by setting the environment variables `C_INCLUDE_PATH` and `LIBRARY_PATH`
|
|
to point to the `whisper.h` file directory and `libwhisper.a` file directory respectively.
|
|
|
|
Look at the `Makefile` in the `bindings/go` directory for an example.
