class WhisperTokenizerFast(PreTrainedTokenizerFast):
    """
    Construct a "fast" Whisper tokenizer (backed by HuggingFace's *tokenizers* library).

    This tokenizer inherits from [`PreTrainedTokenizerFast`] which contains most of the main methods. Users should
    refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.

    Args:
        vocab_file (`str`, *optional*):
            Path to the vocabulary file.
        merges_file (`str`, *optional*):
            Path to the merges file.
        normalizer_file (`str`, *optional*):
            Path to the normalizer_file file.
        tokenizer_file (`str`, *optional*):
            Path to [tokenizers](https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers) file (generally has a .json extension) that
            contains everything needed to load the tokenizer.
        unk_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<|endoftext|>"`):
            The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this
            token instead.
        bos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<|endoftext|>"`):
            The beginning of sequence token. The `decoder_start_token_id` is used to set the first token as
            `"<|startoftranscript|>"` when generating.
        eos_token (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"<|endoftext|>"`):
            The end of sequence token.
        add_prefix_space (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether or not to add an initial space to the input. This allows to treat the leading word just as any
            other word. (Whisper tokenizer detect beginning of words by the preceding space).
        language (`str`, *optional*):
            The language of the transcription text. The corresponding language id token is appended to the start of the
            sequence for multilingual speech recognition and speech translation tasks, e.g. for Spanish the token
            `"<|es|>"` is appended to the start of sequence. This should be used for multilingual fine-tuning only.
        task (`str`, *optional*):
            Task identifier to append at the start of sequence (if any). This should be used for mulitlingual
            fine-tuning, with `"transcribe"` for speech recognition and `"translate"` for speech translation.
        predict_timestamps (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether to omit the `<|notimestamps|>` token at the start of the sequence.
