Exploring Advanced Voice Capabilities

Welcome to Chapter 7, where we embark on an exciting journey to explore the advanced voice capabilities of OpenAI’s Whisper. This chapter will dive into techniques that enhance Whisper’s performance, such as quantization, and uncover its potential for real-time speech recognition.

We begin by examining the power of quantization, a technique that reduces the model’s size and computational requirements while maintaining accuracy. You will learn how to apply quantization to Whisper using frameworks such as CTranslate2 and Open Visual Inference and Neural Network Optimization (OpenVINO), enabling efficient deployment on resource-constrained devices.

While we briefly touched upon the challenges of implementing ...
