faster-whisper pros and cons
Up to ~4x faster than openai/whisper at the same accuracy, using less memory
8-bit quantization cuts memory further and runs well on CPU or GPU
Word-level timestamps, batched transcription, and built-in VAD silence filtering
Models download automatically from Hugging Face in CTranslate2 format
It is a developer library with no GUI or end-user application
GPU execution needs specific NVIDIA cuBLAS/cuDNN versions, a common setup snag
Latest CTranslate2 supports only CUDA 12 / cuDNN 9, so older setups need downgrades
