业界良心OpenAI开源的Whisper模型是开源语音转文字领域的执牛耳者，白璧微瑕之处在于无法通过苹果M芯片优化转录效率，Whisper.cpp 则是 Whisper 模型的 C/C++ 移植版本，它具有无依赖项、内存使用量低等特点，重要的是增加了 Core ML 支持，完美适配苹果M系列芯片。
Whisper.cpp的张量运算符针对苹果M芯片的 CPU 进行了大量优化，根据计算大小，使用 Arm Neon SIMD instrisics 或 CBLAS Accelerate 框架例程，后者对于更大的尺寸特别有效，因为 Accelerate 框架可以使用苹果M系列芯片中提供的专用 AMX 协处理器。
老规矩，运行git命令来克隆Whisper.cpp项目：
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
随后进入项目的目录：
cd whisper.cpp
项目默认的基础模型不支持中文，这里推荐使用medium模型，通过shell脚本进行下载：
bash ./models/download-ggml-model.sh medium
下载完成后，会在项目的models目录保存ggml-medium.bin模型文件，大小为1.53GB：
whisper.cpp git:(master) cd models

现在我们来测试一段语音，看看效果：
./main -osrt -m ./models/ggml-medium.bin -f samples/jfk.wav
这行命令的含义是通过刚才下载ggml-medium.bin模型来对项目中的samples/jfk.wav语音文件进行识别，这段语音是遇刺的美国总统肯尼迪的著名演讲，程序返回：

只需要11秒，同时语音字幕会写入samples/jfk.wav.srt文件。
英文准确率是百分之百。
现在我们来换成中文语音，可以随便录制一段语音，需要注意的是，Whisper.cpp只支持wav格式的语音文件，这里先通过ffmpeg将mp3文件转换为wav:
ffmpeg -i ./test1.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le ./test1.wav

[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.340] Hello 大家好,这里是刘越的技术博客。
[00:00:03.340 --> 00:00:05.720] 最近的事情大家都晓得了,
[00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:07.880] 某公司技术经理魅上欺下,
[00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:10.380] 打工人应对进队,不易快灾,
[00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:12.020] 不易壮灾,
[00:00:12.020 --> 00:00:14.280] 所谓魅上者必欺下,
[00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.020] 古人诚不我窃。
[00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:17.360] 技术经理者,
[00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:20.160] 公然在聊天群里大玩职场PUA,
[00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.400] 气焰嚣张,有恃无恐,
[00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:23.700] 最终引发众目,
[00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:26.500] 嘿嘿,技术经理,团队领导,
[00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:29.300] 原来团队领导这四个字是这么用的,
[00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:31.540] 奴媚显达,构陷下属,
[00:00:31.540 --> 00:00:32.780] 人文巨损,
[00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:33.840] 逢迎上意,
[00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:34.980] 傲然下欺,
[00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:36.080] 装腔作势,
[00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:37.180] 极尽投机,
[00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:38.320] 负他人之负,
[00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.620] 康他人之愷,
[00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.180] 如此者,可谓团队领导也。
[00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:43.980] 中国的所谓传统文化,
[00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:45.320] 除了仁义理智性,
[00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.620] 除了金石子极,
[00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:47.820] 除了争争风骨,
[00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.560] 其实还有很多别的东西,
[00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.020] 被大家或有意或无意的忽视了,
[00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:53.300] 比如功利实用,
[00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:54.300] 屈颜附示,
[00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:55.360] 以兼至善,
[00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:01.000] 官本位和钱规则的传统,在某种程度上,传统文化这没硬币的另一面,
[00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.900] 才是更需要我们去面对和正视的,
[00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:07.140] 我以为,这在目前盛行实惠价值观的时候,
[00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:08.940] 提一提还是必要的,
[00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:10.240] 有的人说了,
[00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:13.740] 在开发群里对领导,非常痛快,非常爽,
[00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:17.180] 但是,然后呢,有用吗?
[00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:19.260] 倒霉的还不是自己,
[00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:22.520] 没错,这就是功利且实用的传统,
[00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.780] 各种精神,思辨,反抗,愤怒,都抵不过三个字,有用吗?
[00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:31.820] 事实上,但凡叫做某种精神的,
[00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:33.320] 那就是哲学思辨,
[00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:36.220] 就是一种相对无用的思辨和学术,
[00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:39.180] 而中国职场有很强的实用传统,
[00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:42.140] 但这不是学术思辨,也没有理论构架,
[00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:44.380] 仅仅是一种短视的经验论,
[00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:47.220] 所以,功利主义,是密尔,
[00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:48.980] 编庆的伦理价值学说,
[00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:52.700] 强调的是,追求幸福,如何获得最大效用,
[00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:55.580] 实用主义,是西方的一个学术流派,
[00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:58.260] 比如杜威,胡适,就是代表,
[00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.180] 实用主义的另一个名字,叫人本主义,
[00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:04.780] 意思是,以人作为经验和万物的尺度,
[00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:06.080] 换句话说,
[00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:09.420] 功利主义,反对的正是那种短视的功利,
[00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:13.220] 实用主义,反对的也正是那种凡是看对自己,
[00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:15.220] 是不是有利的局限判断,
[00:02:15.220 --> 00:02:17.260] 而在中国职场功利,
[00:02:17.260 --> 00:02:21.060] 实用的传统中,恰恰是不会有这些理论构架的,
[00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.700] 并且,不仅没有理论构架,
[00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:26.140] 还要对那些无用的,思辨的,
[00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:29.980] 纯粹的精神,视如避喜,吃之以鼻,
[00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:32.260] 没错,在技术团队里,
[00:02:32.260 --> 00:02:35.260] 我们重视技术,重视实用的科学,
[00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:38.900] 但是主流职场并不鼓励去搞那些看似无用的东西,
[00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:41.380] 比如普通劳动者的合法权益,
[00:02:41.380 --> 00:02:43.580] 张义谋的满江红,
[00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:45.220] 大家想必也都看了的,
[00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:46.820] 人们总觉得很奇怪,
[00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:48.300] 为什么那么坏的人,
[00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:50.020] 皇帝为啥不罢免他?
[00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:53.140] 为什么小人能当权来构陷好人呢?
[00:02:53.140 --> 00:02:55.980] 当我们了解了传统文化中的法家思想,
[00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:57.300] 就了然了,
[00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.260] 在法家的思想规则下,
[00:02:59.260 --> 00:03:01.660] 小人得是,忠良备辱,
[00:03:01.660 --> 00:03:03.140] 事事所必然,
[00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:04.900] 因为他一开始的设定,
[00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.540] 就使得劣币驱逐良币的游戏规则,
[00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:09.940] 所以,在这种观念下,
[00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:12.460] 古代常见的一种职场智慧就是,
[00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:14.820] 自污名节,以求自保,
[00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:16.420] 在这种环境下,
[00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:17.780] 要想生存,
[00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.260] 就只有一条出路,
[00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:20.900] 那就是依附权力,
[00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:23.700] 并且,谁能拥有更大的权力,
[00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:25.700] 谁就能生存得更好,
[00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:27.500] 如何依附权力呢?
[00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.180] 那就是现在正在发生的,
[00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:31.900] 肆无忌惮的大腕职场PUA,
[00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:33.060] 除此之外,
[00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:34.340] 这种权力关系,
[00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:36.900] 在古代会渗透到方方面面,
[00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:40.300] 因为权力系统是一个复杂而高效的运行机器,
[00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.940] CPU,内存,硬盘,
[00:03:42.940 --> 00:03:44.900] 甚至一颗C面底螺丝钉,
[00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.140] 都是权力机器上的一个环节,
[00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:48.060] 于是,
[00:03:48.060 --> 00:03:50.420] 官僚体系之外的一切职场人,
[00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:52.340] 都会面临一个尴尬的处境,
[00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:54.340] 一方面遭遇权力的打压,
[00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:55.340] 另一方面,
[00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:57.900] 也都会多少尝到权力的甜头,
[00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:58.900] 于是乎,
[00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:01.420] 权力的细胞渗透到角角落落,
[00:04:01.420 --> 00:04:02.980] 即便没有组织权力,
[00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:04.620] 也要追求文化权力,
[00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:05.500] 父权,
[00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:06.380] 夫权,
[00:04:06.380 --> 00:04:07.460] 家长权力,
[00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:08.580] 宗族权力,
[00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:09.660] 老师权力,
[00:04:09.660 --> 00:04:10.780] 公司权力,
[00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:12.140] 团队领导权力,
[00:04:12.140 --> 00:04:13.100] 点点滴滴,
[00:04:13.100 --> 00:04:15.580] 滴滴点点,追逐权力,
[00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:18.140] 几乎成为人们生活的全部意义,
[00:04:18.140 --> 00:04:18.980] 故而,
[00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:19.980] 服从权力,
[00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:21.180] 服从上级,
[00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.420] 不得罪同事,
[00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:23.660] 不得罪朋友,
[00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:25.060] 不得罪陌生人,
[00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:26.100] 因为你不知道,
[00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:28.260] 他们背后有什么的权力关系,
[00:04:28.260 --> 00:04:30.940] 他们又会不会用这个权力来对付你,
[00:04:30.940 --> 00:04:31.940] 没错,
[00:04:31.940 --> 00:04:34.380] 当我们解构群里那位领导的行为时,
[00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:36.220] 我们也在解构我们自己,
[00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:37.420] 毫无疑问,
[00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:39.380] 对于这位敢于发声的职场人,
[00:04:39.380 --> 00:04:41.180] 深安职场底层逻辑的,
[00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.220] 我们一定能猜到他的结局,
[00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:44.700] 他的结局是注定的,
[00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:46.220] 同时也是悲哀的,
[00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:47.340] 问题是,
[00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:48.540] 这样做,
[00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:49.660] 值得吗?
[00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:52.580] 香港著名导演王家卫拍过一部电影,
[00:04:52.580 --> 00:04:54.420] 叫做东邪西毒,
[00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:56.340] 电影中有这样一个情节,
[00:04:56.340 --> 00:04:59.620] 有个女人的弟弟被太尉府的一群刀客杀了,
[00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:00.860] 他想报仇,
[00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:02.300] 可自己没有武功,
[00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:04.060] 只能请刀客出手,
[00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.540] 但家里穷没钱,
[00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:08.540] 最有价值的资产是一篮子鸡蛋,
[00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:09.260] 于是,
[00:05:09.260 --> 00:05:10.900] 他提着那一篮子鸡蛋,
[00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:13.420] 天天站在刀客剑客们经过的路口,
[00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:14.700] 请求他们出手,
[00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:16.220] 报仇就是鸡蛋,
[00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:17.860] 没有人愿意为了鸡蛋,
[00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:20.020] 去单挑太尉府的刀客,
[00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:21.460] 除了洪七,
[00:05:21.460 --> 00:05:24.260] 洪七独自力战太尉府那帮刀客,
[00:05:24.260 --> 00:05:26.780] 所得的报仇是一个鸡蛋,
[00:05:26.780 --> 00:05:29.020] 但是洪七付出的代价太大,
[00:05:29.020 --> 00:05:30.060] 混战中,
[00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:32.700] 洪七被对手砍断了一根手指,
[00:05:32.700 --> 00:05:33.820] 为了一个鸡蛋,
[00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:35.500] 而失去一只手指,
[00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:36.740] 值得吗?
[00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:37.860] 不值得,
[00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:39.300] 但是我觉得痛快,
[00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:40.540] 因為這才是我自己

五分钟的语音，只需要一分钟多一点就可以转录完成，效率满分。
当然，精确度还有待提高，提高精确度可以选择large模型，但转录时间会相应增加。
基于苹果Mac系统的用户有福了，Whisper.cpp可以通过Core ML在Apple Neural Engine (ANE)上执行编码器推理，这可以比仅使用CPU执行快出三倍以上。
首先安装转换依赖：
pip install ane_transformers
pip install openai-whisper
pip install coremltools
接着运行转换脚本：
./models/generate-coreml-model.sh medium
这里参数即模型的名称。
程序返回：

转换好以后，重新进行编译：
make clean
WHISPER_COREML=1 make -j
随后用转换后的模型进行转录即可：
./main -m models/ggml-medium.bin -f samples/jfk.wav
至此，Mac用户立马荣升一等公民。
Whisper.cpp是Whisper的精神复刻与肉体重生，完美承袭了Whisper的所有功能，在此之上，提高了语音转录文字的速度和效率以及跨平台移植性，百尺竿头更进一步，开源技术的高速发展让我们明白了一件事，那就是高品质技术的传播远比技术本身更加宝贵。
