Automatic speech recognition and transcription

Whisper.php is a PHP wrapper for whisper.cpp, a C/C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper model, created by Kyrian Obikwelu. Recently released in version 1.0.0, it facilitates fully local and API-free transcription with features like high and low-level APIs, model auto-downloading, support for various audio formats, and multiple output formats. It requires the FFI extension in PHP and relies on platform-specific shared libraries, downloaded automatically during the first initialization. Whisper.php currently supports Linux and macOS, with Windows support in development.
