Please install black and run pip python -m black *.py to make sure that formatting is good and unnecessary additional spaces are removed if not needed.

One of the improvements of the current code from an user perspective is that the outcome of the translation has the name of the temporary file. For example: tmp6ncx7s5c.txt. It's actually difficult for the user to understand that this cryptic name corresponds to the input provided to the pipe. There are several solutions. One very simple solution is to save in the temporary directory a file always with the name "input.wav" (or similar) and then the outcome will be input.txt, input.srt, etc. It's not possible to know if wav will be always the right extension, but this is ignored when generating the transcriptions files. |
cat sound.wav | whisper-ctranslate2
Changed src/whisper-ctranslate2.py. Edits the check for no audio cli argument and no live transcribe.. If there is stdin data then a new temporary file is created and written to with the stdin data, then updates the audio ( cli argument ) to be the newly created temporary file.
The purpose of this is to allow foreign programs written in other languages to pipe in data to whisper-ctranslate2.
