A FastAPI-based server that uses Faster Whisper for speech-to-text transcription, deployed on modal.com. This guide walks you through cloning, setting up, and deploying the server.

• Python 3.x
• Modal Account for deployment

Clone the faster-whisper-modal repository to your local machine. And install requirements from the requirements.txt:

git clone https://github.com/siremojp/faster-whisper
cd faster-whisper-modal
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Install the Modal SDK for deploying applications to the Modal cloud:

pip install modal

Set up Modal authentication. This will open a browser window for you to authorize access to your Modal account:

python3 -m modal setup

Deploy the app on Modal and get the app link from terminal/Modal Dashboard

modal deploy app.py    

After the code is deployed, retrieve the app link from the Modal.com Dashboard. The app link will look similar to:

curl --location 'https://your-name--faster-whisper-server-fastapi-wrapper.modal.run/transcribe' \
--form 'file=@"/home/user/Desktop/locean-et-lhumanite-destins-lies-lamya-essemlali-tedxorleans-128-ytshorts.savetube.me.mp3"'
