  *Note: While SimulStreaming is our recommended solution for new projects, WhisperStreaming serves as a foundational reference for real-time Whisper-based streaming, demonstrating the local agreement policy for low-latency transcription. It remains useful for understanding the core concepts or for specific research applications. See comparison with SimulStreaming.

  Demonstration paper, by Dominik Macháček, Raj Dabre, Ondřej Bojar, 2023
  Abstract:    Whisper is one of the recent state-of-the-art multilingual speech recognition and translation models, however, it is not designed for real-time transcription. In this paper, we build on top of Whisper and create Whisper-Streaming, an implementation of real-time speech transcription and translation of Whisper-like models.

  # whisper_streaming
  ufal/whisper_streaming provides a robust, low-latency framework for real-time speech-to-text transcription and translation using OpenAI's Whisper model. Unlike standard Whisper, this project enables continuous, streaming audio processing, making it ideal for live applications requiring immediate results.
