Installation and Running

Prerequisite

To run Whisper, you need to have python version 3.8 to 3.10 and FFmpeg.

Please follow the links below to install the necessary software:

• python : https://www.python.org/downloads/
• FFmpeg : https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

After installing FFmpeg, make sure to add the FFmpeg/bin folder to your system PATH!

Automatic Installation

If you have satisfied the prerequisites listed above, you are now ready to start Whisper-WebUI.

1. Run Install.bat from Windows Explorer as a regular, non-administrator user.
2. After installation, run the start-webui.bat. (It will automatically download the model if it is not already installed.)
3. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:7860

( If you're running another Web-UI, it will be hosted on a different port , such as localhost:7861, localhost:7862, and so on )
