faster-whisper reimplements OpenAI's Whisper on the CTranslate2 engine, transcribing audio up to several times faster with less memory, on CPU or GPU. It is a Python library used as the engine in WhisperX, Speaches and many apps.
A Python library for developers rather than an app; Scriberr, Speaches and WhisperX give it an interface.
