Learn OpenAI Whisper” by Josué R. Batista serves as a key resource for those exploring automatic speech recognition (ASR) and generative AI. This book dives into OpenAI’s Whisper, a leading ASR system. Batista’s writing style clarifies complex concepts, allowing readers of all technical backgrounds to understand.The book is organized into three main parts: 1. Introduction to Whisper: This section introduces Whisper’s basic features and functionalities, including setup and initial usage. Batista explains human vocalization and speech recognition intricacies, preparing readers for deeper exploration. 2. Understanding the Architecture: The book explores Whisper’s core mechanisms, including the transformer model and techniques for fine-tuning for specific domains and languages. The detailed explanation of training Whisper with weak supervision on large-scale data stands out. 3. Real-world Applications: The final part covers practical applications of Whisper, such as transcription services, voice assistants, accessibility features, and personalized voice synthesis. Advanced topics like real-time speech recognition and speaker diarization using WhisperX and NVIDIA’s NeMo add value.This book stands out for its coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects of ASR. Batista explains the technology behind Whisper and provides hands-on guidance for using the system via platforms like Google Colaboratory. The tutorials and code examples on GitHub help readers implement Whisper in real-world scenarios.Overall, “Learn OpenAI Whisper” is essential for developers, researchers, and anyone interested in speech recognition technology. Batista’s expertise and dedication to the subject make this book a valuable addition to any AI enthusiast’s library

The book takes a deep dive with strong “attention” to detail on the history of ASR, NLP and transformer architectures, their predecessors with LSTMs and RNNs, how language was interpreted by machines before transformers broke ground and why parallelism in transformers is possible.The deep dive on cross attention, self attention, logits, explanations with examples as well as code snippets are extremely useful for anyone regardless of their depth of knowledge on the subject. As a student, this book takes one from an introductory level of understanding of attention models, ASR and NLP to hands-on expertise on the same. Excellent coverage both in breadth and depth.

If you’re an OpenAI enthusiast—or if you simply want to learn more about the topic, "Learn OpenAI Whisper" by Josue Batista is an EXCELLENT book! To summarize, it’s the encyclopedia of artificial intelligence. I ordered this book because I wanted to take a “deeper dive” into the subject. Wow! Not only does Batista take you deeper, but he also takes you on a knowledge excursion!Batista provides you with a great overview and table of content. Each chapter is broken down into “bite size” chunks of information. He helps readers understand the basics of AI core functionalities. He also provides real-world applications and use cases. "Learn OpenAI Whisper" has absolutely everything about OpenAI that you can think of—and more! It’s also written for readers “on the go” because it has a remarkable index, which makes it easy to find exactly what you need.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
