WhisperX Repository Modified to run on Mac

Local Installation

You can clone this repo, and install this directly as a python package instead of using the one off of the main repo. The setup.py is changed to support arm64 vs the main repo. You will need to specify the compute type and language.

cd whisperx
pip3 install .
whisperx input.mp3 --compute_type int8 --language en

DockerHub Image:

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/justinwlin/whisperxmac/general

Docker Build Commands

Build Command:

docker build -t whisperx_image .

Example how to run it and mount it on your current working directory

(In mine the docker image is named justinwlin/whisperxmac:1.0) This mounts your current working directory + then runs the whisperx command on the input.mp3 file

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app justinwlin/whisperxmac:1.0 /bin/bash
whisperx input.mp3 --compute_type int8 --language en
whisperx output.mp3 --compute_type int8 --language en --highlight_words True

Depot

I'm using Depot to build my Dockerfile, to build for mac / arm64:

depot build -t whisperx_image . --platform linux/arm64 --load

whisperxmac's Issues

float16 compute type is not supported.

ValueError: Requested float16 compute type, but the target device or backend do not support efficient float16 computation.

I tried the following code: whisperx /Users/usr/Downloads/VLC-Aug-25-11.35.53.mp3 compute_type=“int8” --language fr
