 This repository demonstrates how to implement the Whisper transcription using [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/), which is a fast inference engine for Transformer models.
 
-This implementation is about 4 times faster than [openai/whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) for the same accuracy while using less memory. The efficiency can be further improved with 8-bit quantization on both CPU and GPU.

+## Benchmark
+
+For reference, here's the time and memory usage that are required to transcribe **13 minutes** of audio.
+
+### Medium model on GPU
