"unexpected indent" Just to point this out in case it happened to anyone else: When entering that code in the description, it kept failing, getting this "unexpected indent" nonsense. It drove me crazy for a while, but then I figured out the solution: just before the, " !sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg" part, was a blank character. Once I deleted that blank character (right before " !sudo......"), everything worked fine. Thanks Todd

Man, this is absolutely stunning! 😮 I've been working for years now trying to find a solution to accurately transcribe my voice. I suffer from muscular dystrophy, so my voice is really low. I've tried dozens of microphones, programs and interfaces but never found something as powerful and accurate as Whisper. It's completely unbelievable how it can be so accurate! I've tried to transcribe my worst-quality recordings and it got almost 100% accuracy every time, especially when using the "large" model which gives even more impressive results. Thank you very much for sharing and don't hesitate to give us more tips about speech recognition. it's getting better lately but there still is a lot of work to do. By the way, do you know any way to obtain a file without automatic line breaks in the .txt file? It gives me a lot of work to do after transcribing to format the text. (this whole paragraph has been transcribed using whisper ; 100% correct! And I'm french and speak english as a foreign language. And I've got a terrible sore throat killing my voice)

[@rheticus5198]

A bit off topic, but when I was playing around a Speak and Spell IC in the 1980s, I noticed that whispering really helped when trying to encode speech for the IC. Speak and Spell used linear predictive coding to synthesize speech. My analysis code could not handle voiced segments, but worked well on whispering. Back then it would take many hours to encode a couple of seconds of speech on my pitiful 8080 PC. Gotta say I am really impressed with the way speech technology has advanced over the years.

Awesome work, Kevin. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it possible for all of us to follow in your footsteps. My plan for your excellent tutorial is to apply it to two immersive language learning courses I've struggled with. Immersive sounds important but it's meaningless. What it really means is that we'll find ourselves stuck in a language course where only the teacher was capable of understanding & translating the target language. The rest of us will have to guess meanings from the clues and contexts in the material, like a newborn infant. It takes thousands of incidental exposures to build a large vocab. And like me half the other students often only speak their native languages fluently. This is how languages should be taught. Bless you, Kevin.

[@RhondaFairman]

Thank you SO much. I processed a file on Google yesterday, manually made all the changes - which took about an hour and several re-listens to the audio.

[@askelenaaboutrealestate]

I get an error when installing Whisper in Colab: " File "", line 2 get_ipython().system('sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg') ^ IndentationError: unexpected indent" , and it explains that The original code failed due to an indentation error. The second line of the code was indented, which is not allowed in Python. The !sudo apt update and !sudo apt install ffmpeg commands are shell commands, and they must be executed in a separate cell or prefixed with !. Restarting the kernel ensures that the changes made to the environment (i.e., the installation of the ffmpeg package) are reflected in the current session.

[@daan260]

if you have trouble with a big mp4 file us this: "!ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav". The "imput.mp4" should be your file name. It compresses the file into just audio and apparently that helps avoiding errors.

Yes, there were some errors in the transcription. For example, the speaker would say, ". . . gonna," and Whisper AI transcribed it as, ". . . going to." Well, using the 80/20 rule, I think I can live with errors like that for the work I'm doing. Other errors were Whisper AI transcribed a word that either wasn't spoken by the speaker or did not transcribe a word spoken by the speaker. Still, 90%+ accuracy with accurate timestamps is a plus for me. What I like most is it saved me from spending $99 on a transcription subscription service.

Kevin, I am a big fan of yours. You explain every bit to us noobs very well. whenever, I am not understanding a topic I search for your videos and you often have better explanation of that. You are my inspiration to start a KZbin channel like yours in my native language i.e Urdu. I just want to request that if you can teach us python like this that would be very helpful. Thanks Man !

Hey Kevin, First of all thank you for sharing this open source tool which can help us to transcribe. I tried to do as per your instructions and got some results but I have some challenges. I hope you will help me resolve them. 1- I transcribed a video but it did not transcribed complete video. Last 1 minute didn't happen? 2- Will it only transcribe particular format videos such as .mp3, .mp4 or is this software applicable to any format. If it allows l was not able to format .MOV file 3- From which step in the video do I need to repeat the process to transcribe 2nd video after 1st one is done. I have spend quite a lot time but didn't find resolution to these challenges. Hope you may help me to resolve these challenges.

Also, when I run the command, I got the message saying "You are connected to a GPU runtime, but not utilising the GPU" and recommended me to switch to a standard runtime?
