Step 1: Connect to the GPU
First, I need to connect to the GPU. If I haven’t connected before, I’ll simply click “Reconnect.”
Step 2: Install Whisper
Next, I’ll install Whisper by running the command pip install whisper. The installation process takes about a minute.
Step 3: Install FFMPEG
After installing Whisper, I’ll proceed to install FFMPEG. This step is necessary and takes just a few seconds.
Step 4: Upload My File
Now it’s time to upload my MP3 file. The file will be uploaded to Google Cloud Platform, and it won’t be saved here permanently since this is a public Jupyter notebook. To upload the file, I’ll click the upload button and select my MP3 file.
Step 5: Transcribe My File to get mp3 text
While the file is being uploaded, I’ll move on to transcription. I need to correctly insert the name of the file, ensuring it matches exactly (including the .MP3 extension). For English language transcriptions, I can select a smaller model like the base model. If the language is different, I might need to choose a larger model, such as the large model or at least the medium model. You can also specify the language for a faster transcription. For example, for English language you type:
!whisper "YourFile.mp3" --model base --language enVideo Tutorial on getting mp3 text
