Introduction
# Whisper (CLI)
Use `whisper` to transcribe audio locally.
Quick start - `whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .` - `whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt`
Notes - Models download to `~/.cache/whisper` on first run. - `--model` defaults to `turbo` on this install. - Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.
