About The Project

This package assists in generating training data for fine-tuning Whisper by synthesizing .srt files from sentences, mimicking real data through sentence concatenation.

Data Preparation Guide

1. Data File (.tsv):

   • Create a .tsv file with two required columns:
     • path: The relative path to the .mp3 file.
     • sentence: The text corresponding to the audio file.
   • Optional: If a client_id is included, it can be used to increase the probability that following sentences are from the same speaker. Refer to generate_fold in src/whisper_prep/generation/generate.py for additional features.

2. Configuration File (.yaml):

   • Set up a .yaml configuration file. An example can be found at example.yaml.

3. Running the Generation Script:

   • Run whisper_prep -c <path_to_your_yaml_file>.
