whisper: Native R 'torch' Implementation of 'OpenAI' 'Whisper'

Speech-to-text transcription using a native R 'torch' implementation of 'OpenAI' 'Whisper' model . Supports multiple model sizes from tiny (39M parameters) to large-v3 (1.5B parameters) with integrated download from 'HuggingFace' via the 'hfhub' package. Provides automatic speech recognition with optional language detection and translation to English. Audio preprocessing, mel spectrogram computation, and transformer-based encoder-decoder inference are all implemented in R using the 'torch' package.
