Very cool tool. I tried out the medium-size model on a Russian video, and the English subtitles that it generated were much more accurate than YouTube's autotranslated captions.

    Gotcha gotcha, I haven't used Windows since the mid 00s so I won't be the most helpful, but it looks like you'll need to do the following:

    1. If you aren't using a package manager, install Chocolatey (or maybe Scoop? I'm not familiar with that one - maybe some Windows comrades can chime in on which would be better for you)

    2. Install Python 3 and Pip if you don't have them installed

    3. Run the commands in the Setup part of that doc:

      pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git 
      
      choco install ffmpeg # assuming you are using Chocolatey and not Scoop
      
    4. Assuming everything installs properly, you can use the examples from the Command-line usage section as a starting point. I'm running whisper my-audio-file.mp3 --language Korean --task translate to translate an audio file from Korean to English.
