Detect timestamp of the first word

[LostArrows27]

Hi guys, im using some Javascript library of Whisper in order to make subtitle for video. Is there anyway i can detect time of the first word spoken in the video cause when i test with this audio file it only gives me the first conversation from 0:00s to 10:00s meanwhile from 0:00s to 7:00s is just background music.

Have you tried --word_timestamps True? This is listed as an experimental feature, and it doesn't always give the correct timestamp at the beginning of the file. But it is your best option. See also
