Loading Models Locally about whisper-webui HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, sorry for late reply.
I've added --faster_whisper_model_dir and --whisper_model_dir arg in #154.

Usage:

python app.py --faster_whisper_model_dir "C:\Whisper-WebUI\my_faster_whisper_model_path"

Or if you start the Web UI with user-start-webui.bat, you can modify the batch file as

set FASTER_WHISPER_MODEL_DIR=C:\Whisper-WebUI\my_faster_whisper_model_path

And the Web UI will use the custom path for the models.

So this is fixed in #154, I'm closing it.

If you encounter any problems with these updates, please re-open and let me know!

Hi.
The model folder structure looks like

1. whisper

./models/
└── Whisper/
    └── large-v3.pt
    └── large-v2.pt
    └── ...

2. faster-whisper

./models/
└── Whisper/
    └── faster-whisper/
        └── models--Systran--faster-whisper-large-v3/
            └── ~
        └── models--Systran--faster-whisper-large-v2/
            └── ~

So if you already have the model locally, you can put the model into the appropriate folder by implementation and it will work.
And you need to set set DISABLE_FASTER_WHISPER=true in the user-start-webui.bat file if you have the Whisper model not the faster-whisper model.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me, i made the recommended changes and still receive the same error.

In the terminal , it says
"An error occured while synchronizing the model Systran/faster-whisper-medium from the Hugging Face Hub:"
"Trying to load the model directly from the local cache if it exists."

it seems to keeps focusing on faster whisper even after disabling it like you suggested.

Same here, that will be great if we have option to load local models.
