Works great for me using Co-Lab. Or on my hard drive. Both work great. But here's something: I have multiple gmail accounts. And I have a number of tools, add-ons, extensions to Google Drive/Docs/Sheets, including Co-Lab, Apps Scripts, etc. And I initially set them all up on one google account. But when I go to set up those same tools in my other google drive accounts, I get an error message, and can't do it. It seems that I can't have stuff in Co-Lab, for example, in more than one google account.

@@KevinStratvert so the only time i go online Is to download for the First Time the pre-trained model?(tiny/medium/large according to my choice)? I have a AMD Radeon 530 GPU... But whisper seems to not read It. In fact i use 99% of my CPU in task manager. What Is the medium time to transcribe a medium kind of file?

Gosh, Kevin, this is the first video I've seen of your and I am mightily impressed! I've been in IT for over 30 years and I can tell you that your presentation is one of the leanest and meanest I've ever seen. What a great contribution this is to the community. Thank you very much!

This is probably my favorite video on KZread ever. It is amazing. It takes a process that I found complicated and turns it into easy to follow steps. It actually takes what could be stress inducing and makes it relaxing with some unintentional ASMR presentation. Very well done.

Thank you for doing a complete walkthrough, unlike so many other KZreadrs who act like they're being thorough but later find out they're skipping small but essential steps as if we already know!

Amazing walkthrough. Thank you. You've made something that would have been overwhelming for me and taken me hours (if I could do it at all) seem so easy and I was done in under half an hour!!

for the ones having issues with "file doesn't exist" you have to make sure that you add the file type at the end even if its not named that. For example if you file is named "file" and its an mp3 then you must type in whisper file.mp3. Hope this helps because this was not specified

Thank you , Kevin, for sharing your knowledge and teaching skills in this and your other KZread contributions. I followed this KZread video to the letter and was able, with only a few hiccups (of my making), to transcribe very important audio files my wife recorded on her iPad. My Win 10 PC did the job flawlessly to my wife's stringent specifications. Happy wife, happy home. I first tried your excellent video, "Audio to Text" which was satisfactory for very small audio files due to the limited capacity available through Microsoft. The AI system worked very well on a 6 mb audio file (four pages of text in a MS Word file). I haven't yet tried a larger file size but believe it would work fine for larger files. Again thank you for all you do, for sharing your selfless talents and wonderful passion for what you present.

Hi Kevin. Been watching you for awhile and just want to say thanks for all the explanations. Concise and interesting. You've helped me a lot and, again, I thank you. Keep it rolling!

Amazing job Kevin. My first attempt at installing Whisper was bad, but your video had me running in no time.

You know, this is one of those videos that you wish you could like 100 times. Much appreciated, man. Amazing video. Thank you so much. Subscribed

I had previous success with your Stable Diffusion video for a local install. It was the only one I found that was clear and perfectly detailed! This video also was excellent, I just followed your step by step instructions and everything is working great!

It worked after some serious debugging but couldn't have done it without this video. Thank you a ton!!

YOUR VIDEO IS AMAZING!!! It helped me so much with learning languages, I used this whisper program, converting speech to text, and then I used chat GPT as a super translator, IT IS ABSOLUTELLY AMAZING. Thanks to this video I did in 1 day the amount of work for 4 days. The quality of Whisper is absolutelly amazing. Kevin Stratvert is the BEST, Thank you

It worked on Python 3.11.4 and the latest PyTorch! I used a CPU and a 1 minute speech took 4 minutes to be transcribed using the small model, 10 minutes using the medium. The installation in the cloud (00:35) is much faster, with the result in under 1 minute. The medium model can recognize technical words. Thanks for showing this tool.

Wow, many thanks Kevin. I had my own videos that I was planning to do Voiceover and found it very difficult to listen to and translate the video, this way I was able to generate Arabic text and it is pretty good and even the translate feature to English is excellent. This video solved a lot for me, and I have tested it, and very promising. Many thanks again.

Another incredibly useful video and so very easy to follow as well! It works perfectly for my large assembly recordings. Thanks so much Kevin. You're such a great teacher, I just love your stuff!

I was recently thinking how great it would be to have Whisper local, instead of online only. And, voila, here's Kevin! Readin' minds, and don't even know it; well, you do now. Thanks!

This was indeed a helpful video, even if I wish you skipped package managers for ffmpeg installation. I got Whisper installed and working, testing transcription on a recording of a 70 minute meeting. With a fairly muscular PC, I tried with small, medium and large models. Surprisingly I got more accurate results with small, in addition to quicker results. Great tool, wonderful intro.

This exercise gave me some solid experience troubleshooting errors. I had to pull teeth to get Homebrew (using a Mac) to install properly, and then had an SSL certificate error, but Google & Stack Overflow came to the rescue, and Whisper is working like a charm. Thanks for the great video! By the way, if anyone gets an SSL certificate error using Python3 (which apparently is common), just enter the following in terminal, exactly as written (but check your version*): /Applications/Python\ 3.11/Install\ Certificates.command * Just adjust the version number to match your release, in the example above, I updated it to 3.11

people like you further motivate me to share my knowledge with the internet. Thank you so much! you have saved me a ton of time.

Many thanks for another excellent video. Some of the versions from this video have been updated but I was able to find the ones you mentioned so everything is working as expected. I teach English (and digital literacy) and sometimes wanted a transcript for an interesting podcast. This is great as it is free, has no time limit and offers other languages which I am keen to test soon. I also like your video which shows how to use the online version of Word. Btw, I use some of your tutorials in the classroom for my MS app classes and the students love your videos too. The only adjustment I do is slow down the playback as it is sometimes a little too fast for my learners :). Many thanks again and please keep up the good work!

Outstanding tutorial as always Kevin. Thank you. I used this to transcribe my recording of a 45-minute webinar so I could read along and highlight as I listened to the replay. It took just 11 minutes on my high-end gaming computer with a Geforce RTX-3060 Ti graphics card. Very useful tool!. ‼

Which CPU did you have for that transcribe? Thank you

This is one of the best step-by-step instructions I've ever seen. Thank you!

This is the first time I got a video playing straight after its release!

UPDATE: This is truly the holy grail. For technical writers, journalists, people who do tons of interviews that need accurate transcription. For paralegals. This is a game-changer. I had used the one via Co-Lab before, per Kevin's instructions. But you are limited to three transcripts a day or something. With this on my HARD DRIVE, I can translate multiple files. I assume there's no cap, no limit. Getting the transcript in all those multiple formats Kevin shows in the video? Almost too good to believe. I don't have a dedicated graphics card, so I chose "CPU." (Hence the slowness, I reckon.) I DO have an i7 processor. But it's a laptop with only 8GB of RAM, and no ability to add more. I want a desktop so that I can upgrade RAM, get a dedicated graphics card, upgrade processors, etc. For more of this kind of thing. Automation. Some heavy lifting. ------------------ Okay. Seems to be running. Slowly, but running. I now have at least two different versions of Python installed on my PC. Installed 3-10-10 just for whisper. Already had 3-11 to run globally. I always make choosing an installation location more complicated than it has to be. But I don't want to run into compatibility problems with the various versions of Python -- plus, I don't know what the implications are as far as Environment Variables, and the fact that the various versions all have to call ffmpeg, chocolatey, or selenium, or whatever. I installed 3.11 in the default location for Program Files. In installed 3-10-10 in a folder directly on C drive that I created for it, called python-3-10-10. I think that part of the key to success here is following kevin's protocol of going to the folder where the audio files are at, and typing CMD directly into the address bar FROM THERE. (I've seen one or two other vids about python. No one mentioned this good tip.) Anyway, with my limited knowledge, I think it's like this: I've installed the following globally: chocolately ffmpeg python 3-11 pytorch. Then, I've installed 3-10 locally, in a folder on the c drive. I bring my audio files into that 3-10 folder, enter CMD into the address bar there, and all is well. I'm running 3-10, and still, I guess, accessing all those global resources that I need to.

It's a great help to sort and summarize important info from a vidz 😊. Thank you mr. Kevs!

Thank you Kevin for what you do. I followed the instructions. I added the following in case some newbies wanted this. I installed Python version 3.11.5 in Windows 11 and it works fine. In Windows Explorer, I created a folder under the C: Drive called Whisper. I then copied my mp3 audio file (from data drive) to C:\Whisper, typed in cmd in the address field to bring up the Command Prompt, and then typed whisper filename.mp3 --model medium [and then Enter]. A 36-minute conversation (50mb) took a little over 39 minutes to run. I then cut all the files from C:\Whisper and pasted them into a folder on my data drive. Then I copied the text version into a version of Word that I don’t pay a monthly fee for and saved it. 😊 Hope this helps someone.
