Whisper Transcription Server

Local speech-to-text transcription using whisper.cpp with GPU acceleration. The server runs on port 5555 and accepts audio files via HTTP POST.

Instructions

When helping users with audio transcription, follow these guidelines:

1. Server Location: The whisper-server runs at http://localhost:5555 with the large-v3 model
2. Audio Format: Server accepts WAV, MP3, and other common formats. 16kHz mono WAV is optimal
3. API Endpoint: Use POST to /inference with multipart form data
4. GPU Memory: large-v3 uses ~6GB VRAM on the RTX 3090 (24GB total)
5. VRAM Sharing: If OOM errors occur, wait 30-60 seconds for other GPU services to unload (see Vram-GPU-OOM skill)
