To improve the transcription accuracy of realtime-transcription-fastrtc, it can be optimized in several dimensions:
Hardware and environment configuration
- Uses a high quality microphone to ensure clear voice input
- Used in quiet environments to reduce background noise interference
- GPU acceleration (e.g. CUDA or MPS) is recommended and can significantly improve the quality of model inference
Model selection and parameter tuning
- Choose a larger Whisper model (e.g., whisper-large-v3-turbo), which requires more computational resources but has a higher accuracy rate
- Language-specific settings
language
Parameters (e.g. Chinese set to zh)
- Adjustment of VAD parameters: appropriate increase
started_talking_threshold
Reduces false triggers
Software configuration optimization
- Ensure that ffmpeg is installed correctly and added to the system paths
- Model warm-up at first run to reduce initialization delay during real-time inference
- Customizable parameters such as audio sample rate and bit rate in FastAPI mode
post-processing
- Access to post-processing modules (e.g., language model correction) for transcription results
- Expandable Whisper's glossary for domain-specific terminology

With the above comprehensive optimization, the Chinese transcription accuracy can reach over 90% under ideal environment. It is recommended to balance the performance consumption and accuracy requirements according to specific usage scenarios.
