Hi @synesthesiam,
Is there anything stopping me from using a larger model with Whisper? Would it be as simple as updating the available options here, or is more work needed to enable medium (non-quantized) and large-v2?
The models are downloaded from Github, so I didn’t upload the larger models. I’m thinking of shifting over to HuggingFace so it would be possible to put all of the models up.
There’s very little explaining this on the repo… is this a faster replacement to the usual whisper add-on? That add-on says it uses faster-whisper already, but points to a different repo.
This is the repo of the standard addon for HA. Michael recently updated the version and custom models are now supported.
Do not expect any significant change in the operating speed. In any case, large models need a GPU. And small models generate unstable recognition outcomes.
is there a way to change the model from tiny-int8 after I’ve installed and moved it into the wyoming protocol? I wanted to test the other ones but can’t for the life of me see where to change it.
