kn-medium (CTranslate2)
A CTranslate2 conversion of vasista22/whisper-kannada-medium for faster-whisper, as downloaded by LiveWhisper, a voice dictation app for Windows.
All credit for the model goes to its original authors. This repository only
changes the file format (float16 weights, plus tokenizer.json and
preprocessor_config.json that faster-whisper needs). The licence is the
original's: apache-2.0.
Whisper-medium fine-tuned on Kannada by SPRING Lab, IIT Madras. 1.5 GB once converted; converting peaks near 7 GB of memory.
