## Usage
```java
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
open whisper.cpp/examples/whisper.objc/whisper.objc.xcodeproj/
```
Make sure to build the project in `Release`:

Also, don't forget to add the `-DGGML_USE_ACCELERATE` compiler flag in Build Phases.
This can significantly improve the performance of the transcription:

In this project, it also added `-O3 -DNDEBUG` to `Other C Flags`, but adding flags to app proj is not ideal in real world (applies to all C/C++ files), consider splitting xcodeproj in workspace in your own project.
