Does it work on Macos?

I am so sorry I am new to this. Does this work on Macos? I know that Python has a version for Macos but not sure about Nvidia compontents?

It works, You can try standalone executable for Mac from -> https://github.com/Purfview/whisper-standalone-win , it should run on Mac OS X v10.15 x86-64 and above.

Apple has officially dropped support for Nvidia GPUs in their newer operating systems, starting with macOS Mojave (10.14). To run it on GPU you would need cuBLAS 11.x and cuDNN 8.x libs, I've no idea where to get them.

understood, thank you

[dazzng]

sorry, have to write this again. How do you get it to work on Macos from the link you provided? There is no file in that link, it just provides the codes but how do I execute them? Do I need to install something first? The link refers to the faster whisper but in that link (https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper) phyton is required so I dont understand how I will do it without Phyton in mac.

You already asking there: https://github.com/Purfview/whisper-standalone-win/discussions/90

The link refers to the faster whisper but in that link (https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper) phyton is required so I dont understand how I will do it without Phyton in mac.

It's ready to run standalone executable and contains Python interpreter inside the executable, so you don't need to install anything. It refers this [faster-whisper] repo because it has compiled code from this repo.

@dazzng: If you look for a ready to use application for macOS, you might want to take a look at https://github.com/kaixxx/noScribe It uses faster-whisper under the hood. (Disclaimer: I'm the author.)
