Requesting "German language model"

Pictor13 commented 4 months ago

That would be really useful.

Does the app author need to train the model for each language, or is it possible to use other models available on the web?

Finetuned whisper tiny/base/small models can be used. Most finetuned whisper models are of the large variant which is much too big to reasonably run on an Android phone, however there are some that are tiny/base/small. We'll be working on a solution that'll allow you to use these.
