# Whisper large-v3 turbo model for CTranslate2
This repository contains the conversion of [katrintomanek/whisper-large-v3-turbo_Akan_standardspeech_specaugment](https://huggingface.co/katrintomanek/whisper-large-v3-turbo_Akan_standardspeech_specaugment) to the [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) model format.
This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as [faster-whisper](https://github.com/systran/faster-whisper).
## Example
```python
from faster_whisper import WhisperModel
model = WhisperModel("fiifinketia/whisper-large-v3-turbo-akan")
segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
for segment in segments:
print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text))
```
## Conversion details
The original model was converted with the following command after adding missing files from openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo to support ct2 transformers convertion:
```
ct2-transformers-converter --model katrintomanek/whisper-large-v3-turbo_Akan_standardspeech_specaugment --output_dir whisper-large-v3-turbo-akan \
--copy_files tokenizer.json preprocessor_config.json --quantization float16
```
Note that the model weights are saved in FP16. This type can be changed when the model is loaded using the [`compute_type` option in CTranslate2](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html).
## More information
**For more information about the original model, see its [model card](katrintomanek/whisper-large-v3-turbo_Akan_standardspeech_specaugment).**
