How do you use Whisper large-v3-turbo
1. Install the Transformers library along with Datasets and Accelerate libraries.
2. Load the model and processor using AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq and AutoProcessor from Hugging Face Hub.
3. Create a pipeline for automatic speech recognition.
4. Prepare your audio data, which could be sourced from the Hugging Face Hub or a local file.
5. Call the pipeline with your audio data to get the transcription results.
6. To enable additional decoding strategies, set generate_kwargs parameters.
7. For translation tasks, set the task parameter to 'translate'.
8. To get time-stamped outputs, set return_timestamps to True.
