We're thrilled to announce the release of whisper.net 1.7.4, featuring a host of improvements and new functionalities.

Key Features and Changes

  • Custom Alignment Heads for DTW: Now, you can define custom alignment heads for Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), enhancing the accuracy of speech-to-text alignment in various scenarios.
  • Upgrade to Whisper.cpp 1.7.3 which included multiple updates and fixes:
    • WithNoSpeechThreshold Support: This allows for better handling of silent segments in audio, improving transcription accuracy.
    • Performance Enhancements: Significant improvements, especially on the Metal runtime for macOS, ensuring faster processing times.
    • Library Split: The native libraries are now split into multiple files (libggml-whisper, libggml-base-whisper, etc.), allowing for more modular use and easier updates.
  • MAUI App Testing for iOS: Added tests for MAUI applications on iOS, ensuring better support for cross-platform development. 🚀
  • Whisper Factory Options: Introduced new options at the WhisperFactory level for more granular control over configurations, previously managed through a singleton at the library level (RuntimeOptions). This improves flexibility and maintainability. Note: RuntimeOptions are still available but only to configure the way how the native runtime is being loaded.
  • The continuous recognition example has been deprecated in favor of EchoSharp, which provides a more robust and up-to-date demonstration of continuous speech recognition capabilities.
  • FIxed an issue where the native library couldn't be auto-loaded on systems that are not providing any command line arguments (like godot)
