How to get English words instead of Arabic numerals while transcribing English speech?

[NanaOrangejuice]

I used transcribe.py to infer English speech, and got results containing Arabic numerals, such as "in 7 days". Can I get "in seven days" in transcribing?

Try the initial prompt flag to nudge it or post process the output with something like the num2words.

There is also this approach, see the following discussion:

• Make whisper transcribe numbers in the actual spoken words #1041

For initial_prompt, see for example

• Where do I use --initial-prompt in python code? #355

initial_prompt: Optional[str]
        Optional text to provide as a prompt for the first window. This can be used to provide, or
        "prompt-engineer" a context for transcription, e.g. custom vocabularies or proper nouns
        to make it more likely to predict those word correctly.
