User pudepiedj ran transcriptions of his podcast, Unmaking Sense , via Python3 using OpenAI’s Whisper. Unexpectedly, one episode was translated into something resembling Welsh. Users discussed ways to ensure English transcription, such as specifying language in API settings. Some users noted that the model could misunderstand certain accents as different languages. Despite specifying ‘en’ for English in the API call, pudepiedj’s audio was still transcribed into “Welsh”. He suggests an issue with the transcription API not properly recognizing the specified language. Users also suggested the use of prompts. Pudepiedj managed to get transcripts working locally on his Mac using PyTorch and his AMD Radeon Pro 5500M GPU. User iamflimflam1 recommended using whisper.cpp for those experiencing difficulties with local execution and GPU support on Macs. ref
