Process Audio with Incredibly Fast Whisper

The Process Audio with Incredibly Fast Whisper action utilizes the state-of-the-art Whisper model to provide rapid audio processing, ensuring high-speed transcription capabilities. This action is categorized under speech-to-text, making it an essential tool for any developer looking to implement audio transcription features.

Input Requirements:

• Audio: A URI string pointing to the audio file to be processed. The audio must be accessible at the provided URI. For example:

  "audio": "https://replicate.delivery/pbxt/KKM18zCi8SBMUw8tsp26yvyqlDGAQogfqRFsHe8oTwyrtaWp/resampled.wav"
  

• Batch Size: An integer specifying the number of parallel batches to compute. The default value is 24. It’s advisable to reduce this number if you encounter out-of-memory errors.

Expected Output: The expected output is a text representation of the spoken content within the audio file. For example:

"text": "So, teaching this retreat is a big stretch for me, just because of everything that's going on with my health..."
