Comment ça marche

  1. Install WhisperX

    The simple route from the README: pip install whisperx (install the CUDA toolkit first if you want GPU acceleration; CPU works without it).

  2. Transcribe a file

    Run whisperx on an audio or video file — it transcribes, aligns word-level timestamps and (with diarization enabled and a Hugging Face token) labels speakers.

  3. Use the timestamps

    Take the JSON/SRT/VTT output into your subtitle, clipping or editing pipeline — word timings and speaker turns are already in the file.

// fonctionnalités

Pourquoi on l'adore

Word-level timestamps

Forced phoneme alignment turns Whisper segments into accurate per-word timings — the feature plain Whisper lacks.

Speaker diarization

Who said what, labelled per segment, alongside the transcript.

70x realtime batching

VAD-based batched inference on faster-whisper makes long recordings cheap to process on a GPU.

Pipeline-ready outputs

JSON, SRT, VTT and other subtitle formats that clipping and editing tools consume directly.

Lancez-le vous-même

  1. Install from PyPI

    The README recommended route.

    pip install whisperx
  2. Speed up alignment (optional)

    The README fast extra: Numba JIT for the alignment loops on long files.

    pip install "whisperx[fast]"
  3. Transcribe

    Basic CLI use; add --diarize and alignment options per the README for the full pipeline.

Ce que vous pouvez créer

Transcription feeds two smaller projects on this shelf: AI Clipping Generator packages an AI clipping business as a production-ready Next.js SaaS boilerplate, and Second Brain keeps the results in a fully local, private, self-hostable knowledge base. Readers working through the Clipping shelf also stop at maxhub-api-skills, Agent skills that pull data from 21 social platforms into your AI workflow.

Questions fréquentes

Who makes WhisperX?

Max Bain (m-bain/whisperX on GitHub); the underlying ASR is OpenAI Whisper via faster-whisper, with wav2vec2 alignment models.

Is WhisperX free?

Yes — BSD-2-Clause licensed. Diarization models from Hugging Face may ask you to accept their terms and use a token, per the README.

How is it different from plain Whisper?

Whisper gives you segment-level text. WhisperX adds accurate word-level timestamps via forced alignment, speaker diarization, and much faster batched inference — the three things production pipelines actually need.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Against faster-whisper alone, WhisperX is the full pipeline (alignment + diarization) rather than just the fast ASR engine — it is built on faster-whisper. Against hosted transcription APIs, it runs locally and free, at the cost of your own GPU time.

How do I get started?

pip install whisperx, then whisperx yourfile.mp3 --model large-v2. Add --diarize once you have a Hugging Face token configured.
