Whisper-th-small-ct2

whisper-th-small-ct2 is the CTranslate2 format of biodatlab/whisper-th-small-combined, comparable with WhisperX and faster-whisper, which enables:

• 🤏 Half the size of original Huggingface format.
• ⚡️ Batched inference for 70x real-time transcription.
• 🪶 A faster-whisper backend, requiring <8GB GPU memory with beam_size=5.
• 🎯 Accurate word-level timestamps using wav2vec2 alignment.
• 👯‍♂️ Multispeaker ASR using speaker diarization(includes speaker ID labels).
• 🗣️ VAD preprocessing, reducing hallucinations and allowing batching with no WER degradation.

Usage

# load model and transcript
