An Optimized Speech-to-Text Pipeline for the Whisper Model Supporting Multiple Inference Engine

+Exceptional performance with 2.3X faster transcription speed compared to WhisperX and 3X improvement over HuggingFace implementations
+Multiple inference engine support (CTranslate2, TensorRT-LLM) providing deployment flexibility for different hardware configurations
+Comprehensive output format support with exports to txt, json, tsv, srt, vtt and word-level alignment capabilities

-Limited to Whisper model architecture, inheriting any fundamental limitations of the underlying OpenAI Whisper model
-Multiple backend options may introduce complexity in choosing and configuring the optimal inference engine for specific use cases

•Real-time transcription applications where speed is critical, such as live streaming or video conferencing platforms
•Large-scale audio processing pipelines requiring fast batch transcription of multilingual content
•Media production workflows needing accurate subtitle generation with precise timing alignment for video content
