# whisper-large-v2-mix-jp model for CTranslate2

This repository contains the conversion of [whisper-large-v2-mix-jp](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v2) to the [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) model format.

This model can be used in CTranslate2 or projects based on CTranslate2 such as [faster-whisper](https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper).

## Example

```python
from faster_whisper import WhisperModel

model = WhisperModel("whisper-large-v2-mix-jp")

segments, info = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
for segment in segments:
    print("[%.2fs -> %.2fs] %s" % (segment.start, segment.end, segment.text))
```

## Conversion details

The original model was converted with the following command:

```
ct2-transformers-converter --model vumichien/whisper-large-v2-mix-jp --output_dir faster-whisper-large-v2-mix-jp \
    --quantization float16
```

Note that the model weights are saved in FP16. This type can be changed when the model is loaded using the [`compute_type` option in CTranslate2](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html).

## More information
