Distil-whisper is incredibly fast. Realtime on a 3060 Ti, and I used it to transcribe an 11 hour audiobook in 9 minutes.


You know, those audiobooks already have transcriptions. Often written by the original author!

I kid. Your comment made me think of a shower thought I had recently where I wished my audiobook had subtitles.


It really is a little absurd IMO that the text of the book is sold separately from the audio.


Book publishing industry is different from audio recording industry.
