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
