Run time and cost

This model costs approximately $0.0019 to run on Replicate, or 526 runs per $1, but this varies depending on your inputs. It is also open source and you can run it on your own computer with Docker.

This model runs on Nvidia T4 GPU hardware. Predictions typically complete within 9 seconds. The predict time for this model varies significantly based on the inputs.

Readme

Whisper is an ASR model developed by OpenAI, trained on a large dataset of diverse audio. Whilst it does produces highly accurate transcriptions, the corresponding timestamps are at the utterance-level, not per word, and can be inaccurate by several seconds. OpenAI’s whisper does not natively support batching, but WhisperX does.

This implementation of WhisperX uses the more light-weight whipser medium model that mainly support english.

For more information about WhisperX, including implementation details, see the WhisperX github repo.
