• Using Whisper to transcribe the entire Forensic Files series

  I also had the same synchronization issue, so I wrote a WebUI/CLI that uses Silero-VAD that first splits the audio whenever there a silent portion (or every 30 seconds), and I haven't experienced it since:. Source: 12 months ago

• Whisper - A new free AI model from OpenAI that can transcribe Japanese (and many other languages) at up to "human level" accuracy

  By the way, I've updated the WebUI to now also support using Silero VAD to break up the audio into distinct sections, and run Whisper on each section and then combine them into one single transcript/SRT file. Source: over 1 year ago

  And while googling this, I stumbled upon this discussion on the Whisper GitHub repository, which seems to suggest that the issue is that the current VAD (Voice Activity Detection) is quite poor, and that it can be resolved by using another VAD (like silero-vad). This might be something I want to add to my WebUI in the future. Source: over 1 year ago
