Description: The "Whisper" models are trained for speech recognition
        and translation tasks, capable of transcribing speech audio
        into the text in the language it is spoken (Automatic Speech
        Recognition) as well as translated into English (speech
        translation). The package is an "Rcpp" wrapper around the
        standalone C++ implementation provided at
        <https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp>. There are 10
        pretrained models available of different sizes and language
        capabilities. "Whisper" is explained in the paper: 'Robust
        Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision' by Radford
        et al. (2022), available at <arXiv:2212.04356>.
