- What it is
- The README of a third-party project that publishes standalone Windows, Linux and macOS executables of OpenAI's Whisper and Faster-Whisper, including a variant called Faster-Whisper-XXL.
- How much weight it carries
- Maintained by an individual developer, not by OpenAI or SYSTRAN. Useful for what the executables are, but its performance comments are the author's own and are not independently measured here.
Facts taken from this source
- The XXL README says its standalone executables of Whisper and Faster-Whisper are for people who do not want to bother with Python.
