Package: ffmpeg Version: 7:8.0.1-1 Tags: patch
With the introduction of whisper.cpp in Debian, it became possible to enable the Whisper filter in ffmpeg, allowing quick and automatic transcript of audio using GPU backed audio processing. Following the recipe available from <URL: https://medium.com/@vpalmisano/run-whisper-audio-transcriptions-with-one-ffmpeg-command-c6ecda51901f > I just successfully was able to use the latest ffmpeg from salsa with the following patch to transcribe the example from that article, ie using this command: ffmpeg -i https://github.com/vpalmisano/webrtcperf/releases/download/videos-1.0/gvr.mp4 -vn -af "whisper=model=$HOME/models-whisper/ggml-model-q5_0.bin\ :language=en\ :queue=3\ :destination=output.srt\ :format=srt" -f null - The resulting output.srt contained a sensible transcript of the video. Please consider enabling whisper support in the ffmpeg edition provided by Debian. diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index e0fa35ce..2ecf3219 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -190,6 +190,8 @@ Build-Depends: libzvbi-dev <!pkg.ffmpeg.stage1>, # --enable-opencl ocl-icd-opencl-dev | opencl-dev, +# --enable-whisper + libwhisper-dev, # used to detect libraries pkgconf, # HTML documentation diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules index 6b3da34f..a2c128f0 100755 --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ CONFIG := \ --enable-libxml2 \ --enable-libxvid \ --enable-libzimg \ + --enable-whisper \ --enable-openal \ --enable-opencl \ --enable-opengl -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
