Just a heads-up for those who have issues installing Whisper on a Mac. I ran into issues on my M1 because of on-board Python and homebrew python.
After installing miniconda and using that instead, the install went through without a hitch.
Whisper is still not fast (I assume it doesn't have access to the neural hardware) but it works just fine in my first test. I also installed and ran it on an 8-core Intel iMac Pro. It does run, albeit much much slower and uses only one CPU core. At least on the M1 it seems that macOS does some balancing over multiple cores to speed it up a little. Still not even at real time though.
