基于OpenAI的Whisper构建的高效语音识别模型:faster-whisper

1 faster-whisper介绍

faster-whisper是基于OpenAI的Whisper模型的高效实现,它利用CTranslate2,一个专为Transformer模型设计的快速推理引擎。这种实现不仅提高了语音识别的速度,还优化了内存使用效率。faster-whisper的核心优势在于其能够在保持原有模型准确度的同时,大幅提升处理速度,这使得它在处理大规模语音数据时更加高效。

1.1 whisper

OpenAI 的开源模型 whisper,可以执行 99 种语言的语音识别和文字转写。但是 whisper 模型占用计算资源多,命令行使用门槛高。whisper 模型本身还存在一些问题,例如 模型幻听问题(大部分的类似于不断重复同一句话、无语音部分复读莫名内容等都是由于这个原因造成的)。要更好使用 whsiper 模型就需要能够准确调试模型参数。但 whisper 模型参数众多,且命令行使用对使用者有一定要求,而且只有 torch 版可以做到调整参数。使用 VAD 类工具也需要一定的动手能力。

1.2 faster-whisper

faster-whisper是具有完全的 whsiper 模型参数,且自带 VAD加持的 whisper 版本,该版本使用了 CTranslate2 来重新实现 whsiper 模型,CT2 对 transformer 类网络进行了优化,使模型推理效率更高。 相比于 openai/whisper,该实现在相同准确性下速度提高了 4 倍以上,同时使用的内存更少。

所谓 VAD 即 Voice Activity Detection —— 声音活动检测,在语音信号处理中,例如语音增强,语音识别等领域有着非常重要的作用。它的作用是从一段语音(纯净或带噪)信号中标识出语音片段与非语音片段。在语音转写任务中,可以提前将语音和非语音部分分离出来,从而提升 whisper 网络识别速度,并减少模型幻听。

1.3 性能对比

在性能方面,faster-whisper展现了显著的优势。例如,在使用Large-v2模型和GPU进行13分钟音频的转录测试中,faster-whisper仅需54秒,而原始Whisper模型需要4分30秒。这一显著的性能提升,意味着在实际应用中,faster-whisper能够更快地处理大量数据,特别是在需要实时或近实时语音识别的场景中。

1.4 技术优势

faster-whisper的技术优势不仅体现在速度上。它还支持8位量化,这一技术可以在不牺牲太多准确度的情况下,进一步减少模型在CPU和GPU上的内存占用。这使得faster-whisper在资源受限的环境中也能高效运行,如在移动设备或嵌入式系统上。

aster-whisper适用于多种场景,特别是那些需要快速、准确的语音识别的应用。例如,在客户服务中,它可以用于实时语音转文字,提高响应速度和服务质量。在医疗领域,faster-whisper可以辅助医生快速转录病历,提高工作效率。此外,它还适用于实时会议记录、多语言翻译、教育辅助等多个领域。

运行结果显示:

Detected language 'en' with probability 1.000000
[0.00s -> 2.46s]  The definition of bone marrow disease, harm and prevention
[2.46s -> 4.32s]  Bone marrow disease is a disease
[4.32s -> 8.06s]  Its main feature is that blood cells in the bone marrow are reduced
[8.06s -> 11.60s]  This reduction will affect all types of blood cells
[11.60s -> 14.56s]  Including red cells, white cells and blood cells
[14.56s -> 20.08s]  Usually, bone marrow disease is a side effect of chemotherapy or chemotherapy used in cancer treatment
[20.08s -> 23.44s]  Because these treatments kill cancer cells at the same time
[23.44s -> 26.20s]  It will also harm the healthy cells in the bone marrow
[26.20s -> 29.24s]  Bone marrow disease may bring the following harm
[29.24s -> 30.86s]  1. Pneumonia
[30.86s -> 33.68s]  Bone marrow disease may cause red cells to decrease
[33.68s -> 35.60s]  It may cause pneumonia
[35.60s -> 39.94s]  It is a sign of fatigue, weakness, respiratory cramps and pale face
[39.94s -> 44.52s]  Severe pneumonia may lead to heart problems and reduced daily activity
[44.52s -> 46.90s]  2. Reducing neutral blood cells
[46.90s -> 49.48s]  Bone marrow disease may lead to reduced white cells
[49.48s -> 51.94s]  Especially reduced neutral blood cells
[51.94s -> 55.52s]  Patients are more likely to be infected with bacteria, viruses and germs
[55.52s -> 59.02s]  In some cases, it may be very serious and critical
[59.02s -> 59.22s]  In some cases, it may be very serious and critical
[59.22s -> 59.70s]  In some cases, it may be very serious and critical
[59.70s -> 61.68s]  3. Reducing neutral blood cells
[61.68s -> 64.54s]  Bone marrow disease may cause reduced blood cells to be generated
[64.54s -> 66.98s]  It may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising
[66.98s -> 71.10s]  Patients may have nosebleeds, gums bleeding, and easy bruising
[71.10s -> 74.98s]  Serious neutral blood cells can lead to auto-blood bleeding
[74.98s -> 78.14s]  Small wound bleeding time is prolonged and internal bleeding
[78.14s -> 79.72s]  This may be fatal to life
[79.72s -> 81.54s]  4. Treating delay
[81.54s -> 84.06s]  If the patient's blood cell technology is too low
[84.06s -> 88.50s]  It may need to delay the chemotherapy cycle or chemotherapy to restore bone marrow function
[88.50s -> 88.94s]  5. Reducing neutral blood cells
[89.22s -> 89.76s]  If the patient's blood cell technology is too low
[89.76s -> 90.60s]  If the patient's blood cell technology is too low
[90.60s -> 92.68s]  It may hinder the treatment of cancer
[92.68s -> 94.50s]  Cause danger
[94.50s -> 97.30s]  5. Reducing the amount of blood
[97.30s -> 101.14s]  Bone marrow disease may require the reduction of chemotherapy or chemotherapy
[101.14s -> 103.46s]  It may affect the overall effectiveness of cancer treatment
[103.46s -> 105.50s]  6. Extending the hospitalization period
[105.50s -> 108.74s]  Severe infection or bleeding may require hospitalization and monitoring
[108.74s -> 113.02s]  It may increase the total time and economic cost of cancer treatment for the patient
[113.02s -> 114.34s]  7. Reducing the quality of life
[114.34s -> 117.06s]  7. Reducing the quality of life
[117.06s -> 118.12s]  3. Reducing the quality of life
[118.12s -> 118.30s]  4. Reduction of life and health
