Is there a C++ version of SYSTRAN/faster-whisper

This request is specifically for creating a C++ version that replicates the functionality of the Python implementation, with the following key features:

High-speed transcription capabilities. Compatibility with existing models and weights from the Python version. Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS). Minimal dependencies for easy integration into existing C++ projects.

Faster whisper is already a python wrapper around a c++ runtime which is ctranslate2، you can use that directly and there are discussions about that in CT2 repo
