        Arguments:
            audio: Path to the input file (or a file-like object), or the audio waveform.
            language: The language spoken in the audio. It should be a language code such
                as "en" or "fr". If not set, the language will be detected in the first 30 seconds
                of audio.
            task: Task to execute (transcribe or translate).
            log_progress: whether to show progress bar or not.
            beam_size: Beam size to use for decoding.
            best_of: Number of candidates when sampling with non-zero temperature.
            patience: Beam search patience factor.
            length_penalty: Exponential length penalty constant.
            repetition_penalty: Penalty applied to the score of previously generated tokens
                (set > 1 to penalize).
            no_repeat_ngram_size: Prevent repetitions of ngrams with this size (set 0 to disable).
            temperature: Temperature for sampling. If a list or tuple is passed,
                only the first value is used.
            initial_prompt: Optional text string or iterable of token ids to provide as a
                prompt for the each window.
            suppress_blank: Suppress blank outputs at the beginning of the sampling.
            suppress_tokens: List of token IDs to suppress. -1 will suppress a default set
                of symbols as defined in `tokenizer.non_speech_tokens()`.
            without_timestamps: Only sample text tokens.
            word_timestamps: Extract word-level timestamps using the cross-attention pattern
                and dynamic time warping, and include the timestamps for each word in each segment.
                Set as False.
            prepend_punctuations: If word_timestamps is True, merge these punctuation symbols
                with the next word
            append_punctuations: If word_timestamps is True, merge these punctuation symbols
                with the previous word
            vad_filter: Enable the voice activity detection (VAD) to filter out parts of the audio
                without speech. This step is using the Silero VAD model
                https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad.
            vad_parameters: Dictionary of Silero VAD parameters or VadOptions class (see available
                parameters and default values in the class `VadOptions`).
            max_new_tokens: Maximum number of new tokens to generate per-chunk. If not set,
                the maximum will be set by the default max_length.
            chunk_length: The length of audio segments. If it is not None, it will overwrite the
                default chunk_length of the FeatureExtractor.
            clip_timestamps: Optionally provide list of dictionaries each containing "start" and
                "end" keys that specify the start and end of the voiced region within
                `chunk_length` boundary. vad_filter will be ignored if clip_timestamps is used.
            batch_size: the maximum number of parallel requests to model for decoding.
            hotwords:
                Hotwords/hint phrases to the model. Has no effect if prefix is not None.
            language_detection_threshold: If the maximum probability of the language tokens is
                higher than this value, the language is detected.
            language_detection_segments: Number of segments to consider for the language detection.

        Unused Arguments
            compression_ratio_threshold: If the gzip compression ratio is above this value,
                treat as failed.
            log_prob_threshold: If the average log probability over sampled tokens is
                below this value, treat as failed.
            log_prob_low_threshold: This parameter alone is sufficient to skip an output text,
                whereas log_prob_threshold also looks for appropriate no_speech_threshold value.
                This value should be less than log_prob_threshold.
            no_speech_threshold: If the no_speech probability is higher than this value AND
                the average log probability over sampled tokens is below `log_prob_threshold`,
                consider the segment as silent.
            condition_on_previous_text: If True, the previous output of the model is provided
                as a prompt for the next window; disabling may make the text inconsistent across
                windows, but the model becomes less prone to getting stuck in a failure loop,
                such as repetition looping or timestamps going out of sync. Set as False
            prompt_reset_on_temperature: Resets prompt if temperature is above this value.
                Arg has effect only if condition_on_previous_text is True. Set at 0.5
            prefix: Optional text to provide as a prefix at the beginning of each window.
            max_initial_timestamp: The initial timestamp cannot be later than this, set at 0.0.
            multilingual: If True, perform transcription on multilingual videos. Set as False.
            output_language: Valid only if multilingual is set to True.
                Specifies the string representing the output language. One of
                'en' (English) or 'hybrid' (code-switched transcription). set as None.
            hallucination_silence_threshold: Optional[float]
                When word_timestamps is True, skip silent periods longer than this threshold
                (in seconds) when a possible hallucination is detected. set as None.
        Returns:

            a path to a converted model directory, or a CTranslate2-converted Whisper model ID from
            the HF Hub. When a size or a model ID is configured, the converted model is downloaded
            from the Hugging Face Hub.
          device: Device to use for computation ("cpu", "cuda", "auto").
          device_index: Device ID to use.
            The model can also be loaded on multiple GPUs by passing a list of IDs
            (e.g. [0, 1, 2, 3]). In that case, multiple transcriptions can run in parallel
            when transcribe() is called from multiple Python threads (see also num_workers).
          compute_type: Type to use for computation.
            See https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html.
          cpu_threads: Number of threads to use when running on CPU (4 by default).
            A non zero value overrides the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable.
          num_workers: When transcribe() is called from multiple Python threads,
            having multiple workers enables true parallelism when running the model
            (concurrent calls to self.model.generate() will run in parallel).
            This can improve the global throughput at the cost of increased memory usage.
          download_root: Directory where the models should be saved. If not set, the models
            are saved in the standard Hugging Face cache directory.
          local_files_only:  If True, avoid downloading the file and return the path to the
            local cached file if it exists.
          files: Load model files from the memory. This argument is a dictionary mapping file names
            to file contents as file-like or bytes objects. If this is set, model_path acts as an
            identifier for this model.

        Arguments:
          audio: Path to the input file (or a file-like object), or the audio waveform.
          language: The language spoken in the audio. It should be a language code such
            as "en" or "fr". If not set, the language will be detected in the first 30 seconds
            of audio.
          task: Task to execute (transcribe or translate).
          log_progress: whether to show progress bar or not.
          beam_size: Beam size to use for decoding.
          best_of: Number of candidates when sampling with non-zero temperature.
          patience: Beam search patience factor.
          length_penalty: Exponential length penalty constant.
          repetition_penalty: Penalty applied to the score of previously generated tokens
            (set > 1 to penalize).
          no_repeat_ngram_size: Prevent repetitions of ngrams with this size (set 0 to disable).
          temperature: Temperature for sampling. It can be a tuple of temperatures,
            which will be successively used upon failures according to either
            `compression_ratio_threshold` or `log_prob_threshold`.
          compression_ratio_threshold: If the gzip compression ratio is above this value,
            treat as failed.
          log_prob_threshold: If the average log probability over sampled tokens is
            below this value, treat as failed.
          log_prob_low_threshold: This parameter alone is sufficient to skip an output text,
          wheras log_prob_threshold also looks for appropriate no_speech_threshold value.
          This value should be less than log_prob_threshold.
          no_speech_threshold: If the no_speech probability is higher than this value AND
            the average log probability over sampled tokens is below `log_prob_threshold`,
            consider the segment as silent.
          condition_on_previous_text: If True, the previous output of the model is provided
            as a prompt for the next window; disabling may make the text inconsistent across
            windows, but the model becomes less prone to getting stuck in a failure loop,
            such as repetition looping or timestamps going out of sync.
          prompt_reset_on_temperature: Resets prompt if temperature is above this value.
            Arg has effect only if condition_on_previous_text is True.
          initial_prompt: Optional text string or iterable of token ids to provide as a
            prompt for the first window.
          prefix: Optional text to provide as a prefix for the first window.
          suppress_blank: Suppress blank outputs at the beginning of the sampling.
          suppress_tokens: List of token IDs to suppress. -1 will suppress a default set
            of symbols as defined in `tokenizer.non_speech_tokens()`.
          without_timestamps: Only sample text tokens.
          max_initial_timestamp: The initial timestamp cannot be later than this.
          word_timestamps: Extract word-level timestamps using the cross-attention pattern
            and dynamic time warping, and include the timestamps for each word in each segment.
          prepend_punctuations: If word_timestamps is True, merge these punctuation symbols
            with the next word
          append_punctuations: If word_timestamps is True, merge these punctuation symbols
            with the previous word
          multilingual: If True, perform transcription on multilingual videos
            and return the transcript based
            on the 'output_language' flag.
          output_language: Valid only if multilingual is set to True.
            Specifies the string representing the output language. One of
            'en' (English) or 'hybrid' (code-switched transcription).
          vad_filter: Enable the voice activity detection (VAD) to filter out parts of the audio
            without speech. This step is using the Silero VAD model
            https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad.
          vad_parameters: Dictionary of Silero VAD parameters or VadOptions class (see available
            parameters and default values in the class `VadOptions`).
          max_new_tokens: Maximum number of new tokens to generate per-chunk. If not set,
            the maximum will be set by the default max_length.
          chunk_length: The length of audio segments. If it is not None, it will overwrite the
            default chunk_length of the FeatureExtractor.
          clip_timestamps:
            Comma-separated list start,end,start,end,... timestamps (in seconds) of clips to
             process. The last end timestamp defaults to the end of the file.
             vad_filter will be ignored if clip_timestamps is used.
          hallucination_silence_threshold:
            When word_timestamps is True, skip silent periods longer than this threshold
             (in seconds) when a possible hallucination is detected
          hotwords:
            Hotwords/hint phrases to provide the model with. Has no effect if prefix is not None.
          language_detection_threshold: If the maximum probability of the language tokens is higher
           than this value, the language is detected.
          language_detection_segments: Number of segments to consider for the language detection.
        Returns:
