USING THIS SETUP ON CPU

[shanky100]

Hi, just wanted to ask if it is possible to use this repo using CPU , if yes then do I need to make any specific changes to the code or any other additional step. OS: Ubuntu 20 LTS and python 3.8

[shanky100]

I managed to get the system up and running, whatever I speak the analog signal changes but I do not received any transcription on the UI/web page. I cna see the transcription being generated in the terminal logs.

Is someone else facing the same issue, any suggestions will be helpful.

Can you attach the console log (a screenshot would do) + a screen recording?

[ethanzrd]

Following Sahar's request, please make sure that the screen recording is at least 15 seconds if you're using the real-time mode with a transcription timeout of 5 seconds :)

[shanky100]

@saharmor Thank you for the reply, I am attaching a screen recording which you can check, although in terminal I see the transcriptions after some time but I do not get nay print on the web page UI.

I hope this helps to get a better understanding on the challenge I am facing.

[ethanzrd]

That's odd. I don't know what could be causing this.
I have an odd request, let me know if you want me to clarify.

Once you see "Transcription generated", forcefully terminate the program (Ctrl +C), go to the project files, open the backend folder, and there you should see a folder called temp. Within that folder, there's a file called batch.wav, could you please upload it to Drive and share the link? Or compress it and drag-and-drop it?

@ethanzrd I just checked what you suggested but I don't see any temp folder getting created in the backed folder.

I by mistake said backed folder in the video but I mean temp folder only. YOu can check the recording

Also, I forcefully terminated the program after a transcript got generated for a segment, but still I cannot locate any temp folder being created in the backed folder or any batch.wav file.

[ethanzrd]

You're right, I was mistaken. This only applies to the sequential mode. Speaking of which, could you try it and let me know if you're having any problems there? If you are, then the batch.wav file will be present for you to include :)

[shanky100]

@ethanzrd I checked with sequential mode. There it generated the wav file and it is having the voice recording. But I neither see any transcription in my terminal logs nor on the whisper playground WEB PAGE.

I am sharing the wav file.

Huh, that is odd. I'll test a bit with the recording tomorrow :)

[shanky100]

One more thing I checked , I am getting the transcript in my

tag but the issue is that it is not getting displayed on the web page. Here is a screenshot for the same.
Any guess/suggestion for this behaviour?

is there any update/solution which can be recommended?

[ethanzrd]

As for the HTML problem, have you tried expanding the window?

I don't know what could be causing your transcription issue as your audio is valid, I'll try to run it on a clean Windows installation and get back to you.

[shanky100]

I made a fresh installation and had to make change in package.json
"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start" to "start": "react-scripts start --openssl-legacy-provider"
Also I updated my chrome to latest version.

I can see the transcription now, but in starting for most of the segments the transcription being generated is empy, after 30 secs it starts to transcribe something but before that I get no transcript.
Is there any suggestion/solution which can be recommended.

[ethanzrd]

That's what I couldn't understand. I'm currently a bit busy with other things, but once some time frees up, I'll run a fresh Windows installation and run the project to see if there's any dependencies we might have missed that could be causing this strange behavior.
