 **Whisper** is an ASR model [developed by OpenAI](https://github.com/openai/whisper), trained on a large dataset of diverse audio. Whilst it does produces highly accurate transcriptions, the corresponding timestamps are at the utterance-level, not per word, and can be inaccurate by several seconds. OpenAI's whisper does not natively support batching.
 
 **Phoneme-Based ASR** A suite of models finetuned to recognise the smallest unit of speech distinguishing one word from another, e.g. the element p in "tap". A popular example model is [wav2vec2.0](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-large-960h-lv60-self).

 <h2 align="left" id="setup">Setup ⚙️</h2>
-Tested for PyTorch 2.0, Python 3.10 (use other versions at your own risk!)
 
-GPU execution requires the NVIDIA libraries cuBLAS 11.x and cuDNN 8.x to be installed on the system. Please refer to the [CTranslate2 documentation](https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/installation.html).
+### 1. Simple Installation (Recommended)
 
+The easiest way to install WhisperX is through PyPi:
 
-### 1. Create Python3.10 environment
-
-`conda create --name whisperx python=3.10`
-
-`conda activate whisperx`
-
-
-### 2. Install PyTorch2.0, e.g. for Linux and Windows CUDA11.7:
-
-`pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio`
-
-See other methods [here.](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)
-
-### 3. Install this repo
-
-`pip install git+https://github.com/m-bain/whisperx.git@v3`
-
-If already installed, update package to most recent commit
-
-`pip install git+https://github.com/m-bain/whisperx.git@v3 --upgrade`
-
-If wishing to modify this package, clone and install in editable mode:
+```bash
+pip install whisperx
 ```
-$ git clone https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX.git
-$ cd whisperX
-$ pip install -e .
+
+Or if using [uvx](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/#running-tools):
+
+```bash
+uvx whisperx
 ```
 
+### 2. Advanced Installation Options
+
+These installation methods are for developers or users with specific needs. If you're not sure, stick with the simple installation above.
+
+#### Option A: Install from GitHub
+
+To install directly from the GitHub repository:
+
+```bash
+uvx git+https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX.git
+```
+
+#### Option B: Developer Installation
+
+If you want to modify the code or contribute to the project:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX.git
+cd whisperX
+uv sync --all-extras --dev
+```
+
+> **Note**: The development version may contain experimental features and bugs. Use the stable PyPI release for production environments.
+
 You may also need to install ffmpeg, rust etc. Follow openAI instructions here https://github.com/openai/whisper#setup.
 
-### Speaker Diarization
-To **enable Speaker. Diarization**, include your Hugging Face access token that you can generate from [Here](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens) after the `--hf_token` argument and accept the user agreement for the following models: [Segmentation](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/segmentation) , [Voice Activity Detection (VAD)](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/voice-activity-detection) , and [Speaker Diarization](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization)
+### Common Issues & Troubleshooting 🔧
 
+#### libcudnn Dependencies (GPU Users)
+
+If you're using WhisperX with GPU support and encounter errors like:
+
+- `Could not load library libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8`
+- `Unable to load any of {libcudnn_cnn.so.9.1.0, libcudnn_cnn.so.9.1, libcudnn_cnn.so.9, libcudnn_cnn.so}`
+- `libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
+
+This means your system is missing the CUDA Deep Neural Network library (cuDNN). This library is needed for GPU acceleration but isn't always installed by default.
+
+**Install cuDNN (example for apt based systems):**
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install libcudnn8 libcudnn8-dev -y
+```
+
+### Speaker Diarization
+
+To **enable Speaker Diarization**, include your Hugging Face access token (read) that you can generate from [Here](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens) after the `--hf_token` argument and accept the user agreement for the following models: [Segmentation](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/segmentation-3.0) and [Speaker-Diarization-3.1](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1) (if you choose to use Speaker-Diarization 2.x, follow requirements [here](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization) instead.)
+
+> **Note**<br>
+> As of Oct 11, 2023, there is a known issue regarding slow performance with pyannote/Speaker-Diarization-3.0 in whisperX. It is due to dependency conflicts between faster-whisper and pyannote-audio 3.0.0. Please see [this issue](https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX/issues/499) for more details and potential workarounds.

 <h2 align="left" id="whisper-mod">Technical Details 👷‍♂️</h2>
 
 For specific details on the batching and alignment, the effect of VAD, as well as the chosen alignment model, see the preprint [paper](https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/publications/2023/Bain23/bain23.pdf).
 
 To reduce GPU memory requirements, try any of the following (2. & 3. can affect quality):
+
 1.  reduce batch size, e.g. `--batch_size 4`
-2. use a smaller ASR model `--model base`
-3. Use lighter compute type `--compute_type int8`
+2.  use a smaller ASR model `--model base`
+3.  Use lighter compute type `--compute_type int8`
 
 Transcription differences from openai's whisper:
+
 1. Transcription without timestamps. To enable single pass batching, whisper inference is performed `--without_timestamps True`, this ensures 1 forward pass per sample in the batch. However, this can cause discrepancies the default whisper output.
-2. VAD-based segment transcription, unlike the buffered transcription of openai's. In Wthe WhisperX paper we show this reduces WER, and enables accurate batched inference
-3.  `--condition_on_prev_text` is set to `False` by default (reduces hallucination)

 <h2 align="left" id="limitations">Limitations ⚠️</h2>
 
 - Transcript words which do not contain characters in the alignment models dictionary e.g. "2014." or "£13.60" cannot be aligned and therefore are not given a timing.
 - Overlapping speech is not handled particularly well by whisper nor whisperx
-- Diarization is far from perfect (working on this with custom model v4 -- see contact me).
+- Diarization is far from perfect
 - Language specific wav2vec2 model is needed

 <h2 align="left" id="contribute">Contribute 🧑‍🏫</h2>
 
 If you are multilingual, a major way you can contribute to this project is to find phoneme models on huggingface (or train your own) and test them on speech for the target language. If the results look good send a pull request and some examples showing its success.
