## New Features * New batched inference that is 4x faster and accurate, Refer to [README](https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper?tab=readme-ov-file#batched-transcription) on usage instructions. * Support for the new `large-v3-turbo` model. * VAD filter is now 3x faster on CPU. * Feature Extraction is now 3x faster. * Added `log_progress` to `WhisperModel.transcribe` to print transcription progress. * Added `multilingual` option to transcription to allow transcribing multilingual audio. Note that Large models already have codeswitching capabilities, so this is mostly beneficial to `medium` model or smaller. * `WhisperModel.detect_language` now has the option to use VAD filter and improved language detection using `language_detection_segments` and `language_detection_threshold`. ## Bug Fixes * Use correct features padding for encoder input when `chunk_length` <30s * Use correct `seek` value in output ## Other Changes * replace `NamedTuple` with `dataclass` in `Word`, `Segment`, `TranscriptionOptions`, `TranscriptionInfo`, and `VadOptions`, this allows conversion to `json` without nesting. Note that `_asdict()` method is still available in `Word` and `Segment` classes for backward compatibility but will be removed in the next release, you can use `dataclasses.asdict()` instead. * Added new tests for development * Updated benchmarks in the Readme * use `jiwer` instead of `evaluate` in benchmarks * Filter out non_speech_tokens in suppressed tokens by @jordimas in https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper/pull/898 ## New Contributors * @Jiltseb made their first contribution in https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper/pull/856 * @heimoshuiyu made their first contribution in https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper/pull/1092 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper/compare/v1.0.3...v1.1.0

## Upgrade Silero-Vad model to latest V5 version (https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper/pull/884) Silero-vad V5 release: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad/releases/tag/v5.0 - window_size_samples parameter is fixed at 512. - Change to use the state variable instead of the existing h and c variables. - Slightly changed internal logic, now some context (part of previous chunk) is passed along with the current chunk. - Change the dimensions of the state variable from 64 to 128. - Replace ONNX file with V5 version ## Other changes * Improve language detection when using clip_timestamps (#867) * Docker file improvements (#848) * Fix #839 incorrect clip_timestamps being used in model (#842)
