Using Whisper to transcribe audio

This episode of Recsperts was transcribed with Whisper from OpenAI, an open-source neural net trained on almost 700 hours of audio. The model includes an encoder-decoder architecture by tokenizing audio into 30-second chunks, normalizing audio samples to the log-Mel scale, and passing the data into an encoder. A decoder is trained to predict the captioned text matching the encoder, and the model includes transcription, as well as timestamp-aligned transcription, and multilingual translation.

The transcription process outputs a single string file, so it's up to the end-user to parse out individual speakers, or run the model [through a sec

When both Anaconda and Miniforge are installed

When both conda and miniforge are installed, depending on what PATH variable is set to, the command 'conda' refers to one of the two installations.

In this above case, the command to activate the environment 'ds' failed.

To avoid this, you can activate the 'ds' environment by being more clear about the source.
