Add audio transcription script using Faster Whisper #530
Description
- There’s no script in this repo to quickly transcribe MP3 or WAV files to text using a fast, modern model.

No problem brother, in the line 37 of your script It would be good if you write some input validation, because if the user choose a invalid model the program will close and I think is not good for the user experience.
You can try to put a while loop and validate the input.
You can put a simple input validation like this (or as you wish)
like that if the users chooses a invalid model it will fall again in the loop
