Increasing speed #6

Fantastic work. Was able to get it up and running easily.

I'm hoping to increase the speed of transcription.

The transcription speed once it hits Whisper seems fine, but I think the lag comes in before that. Do you have any recommendations on how I might improve the speed?

hello PaulMacMADEit

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you were able to get it up and running easily.

Do you mean the time it takes for loading to be released after the "Start Transcription" button is pressed? The initialization process is taking time, as you indicated. Unfortunately, this is not a problem that can be addressed through settings. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

I'm trying to get real time transcription using faster whisper (so I'm using the real time option). Faster Whisper can process the audio very quickly, but I'm trying to understand where the delay is in the system. Do you have any tips on where it might be coming from and/or how to improve it?

The recommended options for "faster-whisper" are as follows, but please note that they come with a trade-off in accuracy.
