Getting my transcription English script instead of Hindi for a Hindi audio

[Sarathharidas]

Hey Team -

When I try to transcribe Hindi audio, I get the transcription in English instead of the Hinid script. Is there a setting that I can change that will enable me to get the output in Hindi itself?

mel = whisper.log_mel_spectrogram(audio).to(model.device)
options = whisper.DecodingOptions(language = 'hi')
result = whisper.decode(model, mel, options)
print(result.text)

you can try

options = whisper.DecodingOptions(language = 'hi', task='transcribe')

Did this work?
options = whisper.DecodingOptions(language = 'hi', task='transcribe')

task='transcribe' is the default, so it shouldn't make any difference

It could be a phenomenon similar to #204 and #194; could you try giving a prompt that might have come before the audio?

In general, it's an open research question to reliably control the model to prefer a certain format.

I have similar issue #234 , please let me know if there is solution available

[Sarathharidas]

Thanks! This worked:

!whisper ""auido_path" --language Hindi --task transcribe

so it seems like beam search can be a solution for this phenomenon besides prompts

Hi @Sarathharidas, I want transcription in English Script instead of Hindi for Hindi audio. (Just opposite of you)

I am using yt_whisper so that I can directly transcribe the video with vtt file by a youtube link. Please let me know how can I achieve it.

@HardikJain02 I know I am late , but were you able to find anything on this ?

you want Latin transliteration of the Hindi , like in this online converter https://mylanguages.org/hindi_romanization.php
I 'm also looking for something similar , i tried several initial-prompts of Hindi-latin transliteration , but it di not worked.
I will try fine-tune in the future , if i get to it ,

[Sarathharidas]

For English script you can do
!whisper ""auido_path" --language Hindi --task translate @HardikJain02

I don't think that what they meant. Not Translation , Transliteration, using Latin words for representing the Hindi language
for example , मैं क्या मैं आपकी मदद कर सकता हूँ ,which is translated to 'i can i help you' according to google translate , is transliterated to "main kyaa main aapki mdd kr sktaa hun" ,

i found converter online here : https://mylanguages.org/hindi_romanization.php

There are several application for Latin transliterations , not only for Hindi , but it is less common so far in speech recognition domain
