FAQ
Is Whisper required on the server?
Yes — install faster-whisper (pip) and ffmpeg. First run downloads a small model (default: tiny). If the model is missing you get a clear install error instead of a fake transcript.
Is this a cloud API?
No. Transcription runs locally via faster-whisper when installed. Nothing is sent to OpenAI.
What languages work?
Whatever the Whisper model supports — Auto-detect works for most common languages including English and Bangla.
Is this speech to text free?
Yes. Transcription is free and runs on Fah Swe Tools' own server.
Does it support Bangla and other languages?
Whisper supports many languages including Bangla, Hindi, Arabic and Chinese; accuracy is best with clear audio.
