Speech Recognition and OpenAI Whisper

This Python project demonstrates speech recognition using the speech_recognition library and utilizes OpenAI's Whisper model for transcribing speech.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the project files.
2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Ensure you have a microphone connected to your system.
2. Run the speech.py script:

   python speech.py

   This script listens for speech input for up to 120 seconds, transcribes it using OpenAI's Whisper model, and displays the transcribed text.

File Structure

• speech.py: Main Python script for speech recognition and transcribing using the Whisper model.
• requirements.txt: Contains the required Python packages and their versions.
• audio.wav: Temporary file to save the recorded audio.
