🧪 Inference Example

import torch
from transformers import WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperProcessor

model_id = "your-username/whisper-base-karakalpak"
processor = WhisperProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = WhisperForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_id)

# speech, sr = librosa.load("audio.wav", sr=16000)
# inputs = processor(speech, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt")
# generated_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_features)
# transcription = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
