OpenAI Whisper Speech-to-Text Enhancements

[Umair_Siddiqi]

Hello All,

We’ve recently updated our documentation and GitHub resources for the OpenAI Whisper speech-to-text module. The latest improvements include:

• Translation support: learn how to enable Whisper’s translation capabilities.

• GPU processing support: details on how to configure and leverage GPU acceleration for improved performance.

You can review the updated resources here:

• Convert Speech to Text to Generate Live Stream Captions with OpenAI Whisper

• GitHub: wse-plugin-caption-handlers

• GitHub: Whisper Streaming README

These updates are not tied to a specific Wowza Streaming Engine release but provide additional flexibility and functionality for users implementing live captioning workflows.
