Shocked at how good the results are, and how easy of an installation it is.

Here are the exact steps to follow to get it running on Ubuntu 22.04 via WSL and yt-dlp:

  1. pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git

  2. yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v\=bZkNIzeRBk4

  3. renamed the file to test.mp3

  4. whisper test.mp3 --language Japanese --task translate --model large

Note: the large model will download a ~3Gb file

I did something similar (my ytdl is ytdlp too). You don't even have to grab just the audio, it'll take a webm: https://i.imgur.com/03UFGc8.gif

Amazing work.

cause ffmpeg inside

https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/requirements.txt

should process most formats

"--model large" option produces much better results at higher resources consuming costs
