Whisper (CLI)

Use whisper to transcribe audio locally.

Quick start

• whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .
• whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt

Notes

• Models download to ~/.cache/whisper on first run.
• --model defaults to turbo on this install.
• Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.
