## How to Run Whisper Benchmarks

### 1. Download Video from the Internet Archive

Visit the links provided and download the relevant item listed under MPEG or H264 in the download options. MP3 will also work.

### 2. Visit Whisper WebUI Repository
https://gitlab.com/aadnk/whisper-webui

Run whisper in docker or natively by following the provided instructions, make sure you set the appropriate options for the test you want to do (ie. omit "--gpus=all" if you would like to run a CPU benchmark)

Note: Occasionally the docker image provided does not work, if you run into any errors then try the gitlab registry. Also, the docker method is generally recommended as it's a lot easier to get up and running.
