model = whisper_s2t.load_model(
    model_identifier="tiny.en",
    compute_type="float16",
    device="cuda",
)

result = model.transcribe_with_vad(
    ["audio.wav"],
    lang_codes=["en"],
    tasks=["transcribe"],
    initial_prompts=[None],
    batch_size=1,  # increase this to significantly improve throughput
)
