Whisper support

[jaggzh]

OpenAI-Whisper is a really high quality locally-run speech-to-text project. (It can also translate; but nevermind that for now).

It would be awesome if we could get that in here, even for the trigger word recognition. I started a separate project to use it for live transcription. Whisper runs as a single command, or from python. My project includes a little python flask app that keeps the model loaded, takes a wav file (POSTed), and returns just the text. https://github.com/jaggzh/whisperpluck

Before I do any effort to implement it in Kalliope I wanted to run it by you all. (I'm quite busy so I don't think I'll even be able to get to it for now. I coded whisperpluck for a friend who has issues using the computer).

687 adds this!

687 was merged, so the next release should have (core) Whisper support.

Next step is FasterWhisper, which is indeed much faster. This is waiting on the upstream PR https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition/pull/693 to implement in speech_recognition, but otherwise I have the code ready. If you want to test those out, the branch blkal of both Kalliope and Speech Recognition in my respective forks have my latest code for both.

Oh, this happens after I say Kaliope (during STT?)

Oh, sorry, I was in master; I noticed in your PR it's in dev. That's working. :)) Closing this issue.
