Fujimoto Seiji 448f3d3b93 tests : add script to benchmark whisper.cpp on LibriSpeech corpus (#2999)
* tests : add script to benchmark whisper.cpp on LibriSpeech corpus

LibriSpeech is a widely-used benchmark dataset for training and
testing speech recognition models.

This adds a set of scripts to measure the recognition accuracy of
whisper.cpp models, following the common benchmark standards.

* Document how to prepare `whisper-cli` and model files

Feedback from Daniel Bevenius.

This adds a short code example how to prepare the `whisper-cli`
command, to make the initial setup step a little bit clearer.

* tests : Simplify how to set up Python environment

Based on a feedback from Georgi Gerganov.

Instead of setting up a virtual environment in Makefile, let users
set up the Python environment. This is better since users may have
their own preferred workflow/toolkit.

# whisper.cpp/tests/librispeech
[LibriSpeech](https://www.openslr.org/12) is a standard dataset for
training and evaluating automatic speech recognition systems.
This directory contains a set of tools to evaluate the recognition
performance of whisper.cpp on LibriSpeech corpus.
## Quick Start
1. (Pre-requirement) Compile `whisper-cli` and prepare the Whisper
model in `ggml` format.
```
$ # Execute the commands below in the project root dir.
$ cmake -B build
$ cmake --build build --config Release
$ ./models/download-ggml-model.sh tiny
```
Consult [whisper.cpp/README.md](../../README.md) for more details.
2. Download the audio files from LibriSpeech project.
```
$ make get-audio
```
3. Set up the environment to compute WER score.
```
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
For example, if you use `virtualenv`, you can set up it as follows:
```
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Run the benchmark test.
```
$ make
```
## How-to guides
### How to change the inferece parameters
Create `eval.conf` and override variables.
```
WHISPER_MODEL = large-v3-turbo
WHISPER_FLAGS = --no-prints --threads 8 --language en --output-txt
```
Check out `eval.mk` for more details.
