<strong>Welcome to this topic !</strong>

You want to use Whisper for your transcription but it's too complicate to install and maybe you don't have the computer to manage it.
Don't worry, you can do it online, it's free.
First login to your google account and open this link <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1WLYoBvA3YNKQ0X2lC9udUOmjK7rZgAwr?usp=sharing">Click me !</a> and just follow the instructions.
Very easy, you can use whisper now.

However, I recommend that you add code options to transcribe your mp3 for a better accuracy, so add :

For english (<em>because it don't have large model; temperature for accuracy; output_format to have juste an srt</em>) :

!whisper "your.mp3" --model medium --temperature 0.2 --output_format srt

For other languages :

!whisper "your.mp3" --model large --temperature 0.2 --output_format srt

You can see other options with :
!whisper --help
(<em>you can add this code in your notebook page at the end</em>)

What you don't have or want a Google account?
Ok no problem try whisper here : <a href="https://replicate.com/openai/whisper">https://replicate.com/openai/whisper</a>

Now do your own subtitles !!

Because it's a virtual machine, you can be disconnect from colab when you upload a big file.
The solution is to upload the files on your google drive and after, access them using mounting Google Drive into colab, here the code for that :
<pre>from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')</pre>
Follow the instructions and the files are ready to use.

Arf! Too much line break in the code, sorry for that, just delete all the useless line break if it don't work.

Need your help on this! Whisper

Hello and Merry Christmas.

I share with you my Google Colab Notebook of "Transcribe with OpenAI Whisper", here the link:

Follow the instructions and enjoy the interface to play with Whisper !

Have a nice day.

Hi,
this is the new version of my google colab page of Whisper, now you can choose the turbo mode of large-v3:
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/18F1brP9fn-P0HEJtQAHH946AUlF46y-0?usp=drive_link

And this is my google colab page of insanely-fast-whisper, not fast anymore since the upgrade of Colab:
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wj6f0pljYz_Srst_HfJlkWuF_6Ma7Zck?usp=drive_link

Have a nice day and happy new year.

The Google Colab pages have been updated. (Same links)
_OpenAI/Whisper page: I've added some examples to control text formatting.
_insanely-fast-whisper page: Since updating Colab to Python 3.11, the code stopped working. So I rewrote the page, and now you can install and use it. But it's no longer fast, and it loses its appeal.

Have a nice day, eat some ice cream.

Thank you Lionfacial and nice "Summer" avatar :)
