whisper.cpp
Node.js package for Whisper speech recognition
Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/whisper.cpp
Details
The performance is comparable to when running whisper.cpp
in the browser via WASM.
The API is currently very rudimentary: bindings/javascript/emscripten.cpp
For sample usage check tests/test-whisper.js
Package building + test
# load emscripten
source /path/to/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
cd whisper.cpp
# grab base.en model
./models/download-ggml-model.sh base.en
# prepare PCM sample for testing
ffmpeg -i samples/jfk.wav -f f32le -acodec pcm_f32le samples/jfk.pcmf32
# build
mkdir build-em && cd build-em
emcmake cmake .. && make -j
# run test
node --experimental-wasm-threads --experimental-wasm-simd ../tests/test-whisper.js
# publish npm package
make publish-npm
Sample run
$ node --experimental-wasm-threads --experimental-wasm-simd ../tests/test-whisper.js
