whisper-cpp with vulkan to transcribe audio with hardware acceleration on Freebsd


There is a Freebsd package for whisper-cpp to transcribe audio but it doesnt have vulkan enabled so it uses the cpu and you would have to build it using ports or poudriere to ennable vulkan

So a quicker solution is to download the whisper-cpp git repository and build it with cmake with libs off to compile all the libraries into a self contained binary

I also take a look at the different models to use with whisper-cpp and a shell script i created called transcribe-audio which simplifies using whisper-cpp by defining a default model and options so you dont have to type as much

subed is an Emacs major mode for editing subtitles while playing the corresponding media file with mpv.
