large module within python

[bradleyb127]

Installed Whisper and everything works from the command line and within a python script.

However, when using the following command line command, I get much better results (as expected): whisper --model large ".\20230428.mp3"

There are words in the audio that are transcribed correctly this way.

However, I'm not having any luck using the large model from within a python script.

I have tried the following:

  import os
  import openai
  openai.api_key = "key"
  audio_file = open("20230428.mp3", "rb")
  transcript = openai.Audio.transcribe("large", audio_file)
  print(transcript.text)

and:

import whisper

model = whisper.load_model("large-v2")
result = model.transcribe("20230428.mp3")
print (result["text"])

and:

import whisper

# load the model
model = whisper.load_model("large-v2")
# get transcription
result = model.transcribe("20230428.mp3", 
language="english")
# result contains 3 output,
# result['text'] --> complete transcription that with punctuations
# result['segments'] --> segment wise transcription with timestamps and other details 
# result['langauge'] --> detected language of the audio
print (result["text"])

I'm able to get the file transcribed, but not with the accuracy as the cli results and it runs much faster so for those two reasons, I don't believe it's actually using the large (or large-v2) model.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as this has been a wall I can't figure out for about a week now.

And, thank you.
