inesc-id/WhisperLv3-EP-X

WhisperX Large-v3 — PRE-ACORDO

This model is a fine-tuned Whisper variant of openai/whisper-large-v3, trained for European Portuguese (EP) (around 425h) automatic speech recognition (ASR). From CAMÕES work.

🧠 Model Description

• Base model: openai/whisper-large-v3
• Architecture: Transformer encoder–decoder
• Training: Fine-tuned on around 800 hours of Portuguese speech
• Task: Transcription (task="transcribe")
• Compute type: float16 (recommended)

🧩 Usage

import whisperx

device = "cuda"  # or "cpu"
compute_type = "float16"

model = whisperx.load_model(
    "inesc-id/WhisperLv3-EP-X",
    device=device,
    compute_type=compute_type,
    language="pt",
    task="transcribe"
)
