Good day everyone.

I’ve been trying to get the latest version of Whisper AI running to no avail. Here is a link to the software with instructions. I wan’t ‘whisper-diarization.ipynb’.

github.com

Transcripts4All/tools4all/blob/main/whisper-diarization.ipynb

{
  "cells": [
    {
      "cell_type": "markdown",
      "source": [
        "[![Open in Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Transcripts4All/tools4all/blob/main/whisper-diarization.ipynb)"
      ],
      "metadata": {
        "id": "colab"
      }
    },
    {
      "cell_type": "markdown",
      "source": [
        "# Step 1:\n",
        "# Execute the following task and upload an audio file to the content directory while you wait for the task to complete."
      ],
      "metadata": {
        "id": "step1"
      }

So I follow the instructions and get a Restart Session pop up and wait for the thing to install and then click Restart Session.

After adding the file name to the 2nd command I get the error in the 2nd image. SOmething about a zip file not created.

Now idk anything about programming so please keep that in mind. I’ve been at this for 2 days. On Reddit a kind gentleman recommended changing this line:

!python diarize_parallel.py --whisper-model large-v3 -a “$audioFile”

To this line:

!python diarize_parallel.py --whisper-model large-v3 --batch_size 0 -a “$audioFile”

But it didn’t work.

One last bit of info. The language I’m transcribing is Bengali(abbreviated bn when specifying it) which might be where we’re having an issue. But that’s just a theory.
