# Faster Whisper transcription with CTranslate2
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.
**faster-whisper** is a reimplementation of OpenAI's Whisper model using [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/), which is a fast inference engine for Transformer models.
This implementation is up to 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 using different implementations:
