Support for Batch of Audio Files

[shahrukhx01]

Thanks for this great project! I went over the codebase found it very insightful. Do you plan to incorporate batch support anytime soon in the future?

This would indeed be a super useful feature, but we are not planning to implement it here soon.

Hi @Jeronymous, would you be open to a contribution? I think adding batching to naive method would be quite straight forward and I'd be happy to contribute there :)

[Jeronymous]

If you see a straightforward way to address batching, of course feel free to try it (implement it in a fork and open a Pull Request)
Contributions are always welcome 😄

@shahrukhx01 Great idea! Cannot wait for your the batch inference version! Is there a plan to release the code?

Hi @MSLDCherryPick , We are currently working on batched version of whisper-timestamped at my workplace and the progress so far has been promising. We plan to contribute back to whisper-timestamped sometime in the second half of September, once we have the stable version of batching working for us. Stay tuned!
