Technical requirements
To harness the capabilities of OpenAI’s Whisper for advanced applications, this chapter leverages Python and Google Colab for ease of use and accessibility. The Python environment setup includes the Whisper library for transcription tasks.
Key requirements:
- Google Colab notebooks: The notebooks are set to run our Python code with the minimum required memory and capacity. If the T4 GPU runtime type is available, select it for better performance.
- Python environment: Each notebook contains directives to load the required Python libraries, including Whisper.
- GitHub repository access: All Python code, including examples, is available in the chapter’s GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-OpenAI-Whisper/tree/main/Chapter02). These Colab notebooks are ready to run, providing a practical and hands-on approach to learning.
By meeting these technical requirements, you will be prepared to explore Whisper in different...
